This is turning out to be different than what we first thought. It is a little bit different. When we got overhead it looked like a sinkhole. We told you there were Railroad Tracks underground. That is true. But this structure is more of an elevated parking deck where the train tracks exit from the underground area under flatbush. Thats where we are off flatbush at 32nd, a private parking lot. Second france, there is an elevated parking deck but park of the deck is giving way underneath the garbage truck. There are crews on the scene. They stopped the Freight Train traffic through the area. Subways are on or close to schedule. That is important.

Investigators say the people that he trusted to make that happen are being held responsible for his death. 30 students are being charged in connection with the hazing death of freshman michael deng. The incident happened two years ago in the poconos where one student rented a home where the alleged hazing incident took place. During a night of hazing, investigators say deng was blindfolded and made to wear a backpack with 20 points of sand. Investigators say someone pushed deng down forcing him to hit his head. Outside of the home its alleged that frat members waited an hour before they rushed deng to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
