and naturally, there are folks in NYC who were interviewed who had no idea

I always enjoyed the wording of some of the old enabling laws for local

fire departments that read, in part: " to prevent the spread of the

conflagration, the officer in command may cause buildings to be removed,

torn down or destroyed in the best manner possible including the use of

explosives. "

Broad powers in an emergency are not necessarily new, just more visible...
