United Nations Against Us And Themselves

The United Nations is undergoing a $2 billion renovation. As part of their plans, they asked for and received New York City approval for the city to construct protective barriers around their property. However, NYC had some questions for UN officials. If the UN wants the city’s aid, it must conduct and provide detailed building studies on how explosive blasts will affect their property. UN answers have yet to be delivered and to this point, they have refused comment. The UN is outside NYC jurisdiction but it will be NYC emergency personnel who will respond to their calls for help should the time ever come. We New Yorkers need to protect our own. Maybe, if UN officials refuse to respond to our requests for information now, in the event of catastrophe, we should let the UN wait for a disaster team to respond from Washington.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo site development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
