Nice... almost forgot about that =) - inactive, on 12/31/2007, -4/+13right wing fanatics don't care about new york, they hate it. they only use its 9/11 tragedy to spread their hate and destruction.
- NealV, on 12/31/2007, -0/+7Service cuts, departmental reorganizations, an economy that bounced back, and pixie dust!
- Muncher, on 12/31/2007, -0/+7Also, they have a giant French statue that represents liberty.
- inactive, on 12/31/2007, -1/+8That is just way to much information for my mind : ( But ill digg it any way
- Chirp08, on 12/31/2007, -1/+7on the subject, what is the official status of the new wtc? are they doing anything with the site yet?
- holyskeleton, on 12/31/2007, -2/+8black lady jesus?
- KennMac, on 01/01/2008, -0/+6It actually wrecks Giuliani and exposes the many corruptions while he was in office.
- SRSco, on 01/01/2008, -0/+5Gawker (and Wonkette) commenters = 1,000,000 times smarter & funnier than Digg commenters. True story.
- tyywebb, on 12/31/2007, -1/+5Not socially repressed enough for them. In other words, they hate New Yorkers for their freedums.
- edicius, on 12/31/2007, -0/+4Naked black lady Jesus.
- BillyIsCool, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4wow they didn't even list the blackout, even tho that was all of the east coast, the NYC blackout was sick.
- KennMac, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4That was completely intentional. You're an idiot for not picking that up. It was even suggested with this line:
Two commercial airliners were flown into the two towers of the World Trade Center. - xerexes1, on 12/31/2007, -1/+5How was Bloomberg able to turn NYC around from a debt of $42 billion in 2002 to a surplus of $3.6 billion in 2005?
- nubnub, on 12/31/2007, -3/+6Can I get a condensed timeline version?
- oderdigg, on 12/31/2007, -1/+4Because you just don't have time to read 15 minutes worth of data. How lame.
- ZenMojo, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3So...in summary...Giuliani's a putz?
- tech42er, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2It included it.
- fzagruzny, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2... and now i can pretend that i read a newspaper everyday
- GruntGrunt, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2Freedom Tower is in the building stage (foundations) which is due to be 1776 feet tall ... Memorial is going to be the most expensive memorial of any kind costing $500mil - 1 billion ... Only thing they really rebuilt was the new Subway station.
- KennMac, on 01/01/2008, -0/+2Looking out my window... it looks the same as it did 5 years ago. A gaping square hole.
- WhiteRaven, on 12/31/2007, -1/+3No. Because three minutes of reading may be *worth* the information discovered while 15 minutes probably isn't.
- SRSco, on 01/01/2008, -2/+3Should've* should have*...there is no should of.
- AgmLauncher, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2Here's a summary:
Random dates nobody cares about [COMPLETE LACK OF REFERENCE TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DATES IN NYC HISTORY] more random dates nobody cares about.
Typical pseudo-intellectual garbage from people who think they are cultured. I can just imagine the reasoning:
*turns on metrosexual lisp*
"I didn't want to talk about 9/11 since it's such a cliche. I wanted to focus on other lesser known things"
Yeah ok. And that's why nobody cares. - edicius, on 12/31/2007, -2/+3You always should.
- violentvinyl, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1Learn to skim.
- loveforkarma, on 12/31/2007, -0/+1That article made me feel dyslexic by how scrunched everything was.
- doronster195, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1How do you pronounce the 00's?
The thousands? - SRSco, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1I hear "The Oughts" more than any other option: See here:
http://members.cox.net/mathmistakes/decade.htm - ghidorahnotweak, on 12/31/2007, -0/+1Choire we love you!
- Wonderama, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2This guy writes the article like 9/11 was an interesting curiosity and seems bored by it all. Selfish.
Crappy timeline overall. - tcpip4lyfe, on 01/01/2008, -2/+3Im glad I live in Iowa. We got 2 new buffalo wild wings and our mall went under. Also a deaf homeless guy patted my stomach and asked if I worked out.
- slayerab, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Things were so much more entertaining back before 911. I would love to see an alternate timeline if 911 didn't happen. Sorry, I've been watching back to the future on HBO way too many times in the last couple of weeks
- SRSco, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1I was pissed as hell when I saw a Digg button on my beloved Gawker.
- tehxen3, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2Lame, it's all bad news as if nothing good ever happens in NYC.
- swiftheart, on 01/01/2008, -0/+0They aren't the same thing. The $3.6 billion surplus was a year on year budgetary surplus (where revenues were unexpectedly higher than costs) whereas the $42 billion debt was a long term debt (multi-decade capital bonds and the like.)
- SteveCUBE, on 12/31/2007, -5/+5Ugh, I feel sick every time I see Giuliani.
- Keneka, on 12/31/2007, -0/+0Thanks for this Choire, I was in college for most of this-- so it's nice to have some one burst my bubble ( if you will) on what is/was happening.
- MrTea, on 01/01/2008, -4/+2Meh, ***** New York.
- derek20cali, on 01/01/2008, -3/+1I don't care about new york or anything that happens there.
- GruntGrunt, on 01/01/2008, -4/+2Who the ***** listens to Gawker. This site just stalks celebrities and talks gossip.
- Terri84, on 12/31/2007, -3/+1This is retarded. By condensed version, did you mean only bad things and by each day you mean like 3 days a year?
- entrophize, on 12/31/2007, -4/+2I wonder how many Guliani endorsements this link has in it.
- fotoman, on 01/01/2008, -4/+1Buried for improperly including 2000 in the story. Learn how to count! We're not using 0 indexed arrays!!!
- vapblack, on 12/31/2007, -7/+1no lol
- mccartyba, on 12/31/2007, -6/+0They sorta left out a big thing called the terrorist attacks on the WTC... That was a pretty big thing that happened...
- ItsMyWii, on 12/31/2007, -13/+6Something fairly important is missing but I can't put my finger on it...Rudy Juliani you wanna give me a hand?
- int10h, on 12/31/2007, -9/+2WTF no ron paul mentioned ? buried for being inaccurate.
- vladimirlemon, on 12/31/2007, -9/+1tl;dr - move to Philly.
- wilcox1010, on 12/31/2007, -13/+4Is there a summarized version? I don't care about NY enough to read.
