John: "I just paged my friends, the Deaf are having a tailgate party, their last at the old Yankee Stadium and are unaware of what's going on at this moment."
Joan: "I think New York have neglected its maintenance since most of its transportation budget goes into security."
John: "It's unbelievable, read that a similar accident happened in Japan, that was due to the speed, human error, but here it is neglect."
Joan: "The Deaf been raising funds years to remodel the place, now they will just put it into their endowment funds, as the city have to replace the building itself."
John: "They just bought it from the estate of the landlord way below market value as they after years of leasing the place and complaining to the city for its building code violations, he was known as the slum lord, and also bought the building next door for $1 in an agreement with the city that it will be demolished, after being condemned. The Deaf was thinking about putting up a Deaf owned Subway sandwiches franchise in its place, but irony it took a subway, not a wrecking ball, to flatten it to the ground."
Joan: "Am picking up more details on Deafread, Deaf officials decided to replace the building, rather than remodel it as originally planned, they will salvages as much as they can, to preserved the historic bar they constructed some forty years ago, with its old fashioned cashier, neon signs, and, of course, the chunky Western Union tty."
Jim: "The Yankees won, expect some improvements after the all-stars break for the rest of the season, with that payroll they have."John: "The Deaf probably now heading back to the Deaf club, not to chat the night away, they are in for a shock."
Joan: "They probably will just recovered important files such as those belonging to the local NFSD chapter, several trophies, and vintage photos from its past."
John: "The four Deaf clubs picnic, with Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn participating, will go on as scheduled next weekend at Flushing Meadows, the Deaf official will rent a public storage facility to store whatever they can from the wreckage, and will have their business meeting at a local Deaf Episcopal Church."
Joan: "The Deaf will hire a lawyer to be sure they get as much compensation they can get from the city, then they will need to hire an architecture firm to design a new building, and get block grants to provides services and to hire a full time Deaf business manager to oversee the day to day operations of the Long island Club of the Deaf."
