From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! To our knowledge at least, car fires in major shopping mall parking lots aren't all that common- at least in New York City. That trend was broken today. Nobody was seriously hurt, but the question remains: who did it? and why?
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. Firefighters battled a seven-alarm fire after several cars went up in flames inside the Kings Plaza Shopping Center parking garage in Brooklyn. The vehicles burned on the second and third floors of the parking garage.
2. A tractor-trailer carrying metal construction material careened into three homes on Staten Island. The FDNY says one civilian and one firefighter were treated for non-life-threatening injuries on Monday after the crash in the Mariners Harbor neighborhood.
3. The lawyer for a New York City transit worker charged in a possible road-rage killing says he believes police arrested the wrong person.
