As none of you know, I work in TriBeCa in the heart of New York City. TriBeCa as in “Triangle Below Canal”. I am lucky enough to sit right by a large window right off the 2nd floor facing Church St. Some amazing things happen on this street. The other day the AT&T building across the street started shooting huge amounts of steam from a vent around the 2nd floor level. This steam hit the sidewalk and spread out over quite a distance. I was completely fascinated with this event, so much so it was nearly impossible to focus on work. I knew I needed to catch a video of this epic wonder. What the hell is this building doing?

Someone else must have been intrigued as well, soon afterwards our street was completely swarmed with Firetrucks, police cars and paramedics.

Eventually the firemen realize there is no real emergency and they exit the street one by one. All is normal again on Church St. So, here I am back at work ready to focus and enjoy a productive afternoon. The gods of Church St. were not done yet for the day. No sir! I look down my window to the sidealk right below me to notice some fool is busy getting arrested by a group of police officers and his van being searched through. The best part of this though was watching the plain clothed police man drinking a coke and chilling out while his team labored to handcuff the criminal and search his van.

All in a days work.
