Car just jumped the curb and drove through pedestrians in Times Square, NYC.

While bad, it happens often enough due to various no fault causes.

Will wait and see if intentional or not before jumping to conclusions.

Same, Cuomo is enroute to the scene..

At least one person is reported dead. Pretty good numbers for how many could easily have been obviously already dead in such a crowded location.

Lots of companies at VeeamOn this week were discussing how weird it is that IBM even still exists. No one knows what they do any more and a large number of newbies in the field literally don't know who they are at this point.
