At Christmas, Christians celebrate the day when Joseph, the poor carpenter, became a father. The staff and directors of The New York Times never imagined that they would make headlines around the world on this day.

The New York Fire Department drove to 229 West 43rd Street in Times Square. The firefighters were neatly dressed and rushed into the eighteen-story building with water pipes, thinking they were here to put out the fire, but who knew that they were here to flush the.

I've never seen it before.

It was cold in New York at the end of December, and the Times reporters and editors who were working in the building had their faces darkened, their coats off, and blankets wrapped in blankets and walked out of the building. There was sadness and anguish on everyone's face.

The uncrowned kings of The Times are always on top of the world, pointing their cameras at others and asking all sorts of quirky questions. But today, when they walked out of the newspaper headquarters building, a group of colleagues came outside to stare at them.

That look was clearly schadenfreude.

The cameraman of the local television station pointed the machine at the crowd as they walked out of the building, and fellow reporters stood in front of the camera, holding the microphone and reporting the scene in an exaggerated tone.

“OMG！ This year's Christmas is truly a special day. Viewers in front of the TV, you would never have thought about what I was going through.

I was about to spend a warm night with my family, but the phone from the station forced my call, and my boss said to me, 'Hi Mike, you have to go to Times Square now, there's big news somewhere'.

You know? I hate the big news of the holidays the most, which upsets my family gatherings. But I had no choice but to put on my coat and leave the house. As I drove the car, I wondered what the hell was the big news, could it be that the New York Times was on fire?

But when I arrived at the scene to find out what was going on......"

The expression of the reporter at the scene became extremely exaggerated at this moment, and he shouted loudly: "OMG, OMG, OMG!" You can't imagine what I've seen and heard, and the situation is terrible. My brain can't even organize speech. Because ....."

The reporter took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "The toilet at the headquarters of the New York Times has burst. It's not one toilet, it's all the toilets that burst.

Yes, I know you may be having dinner.

You're going to be stunned, you're going to be in a daze, you're going to feel that the apple pie and roast turkey on the table suddenly don't smell good. But the reality is that the whole building is now a huge pit. ”

Hahaha......

Vomiting vomiting vomiting ......

I don't know how many viewers are tuning in to the live broadcast, but there are indeed many people who are in a festive mood that has been stirred up. If bursting one toilet is a tragedy, bursting all toilets is definitely a comedy!

The New York Times had to announce a three-day closure for the public, and they had to take some time to clean up their headquarters building. Because every floor of the building, every office, every bathroom is the hardest hit area.

Ceilings, floors, walls, and air are heavily polluted. The sewage pipes are all broken. The septic tank at the bottom of the building is even more miserable.

The office environment was completely untenable, and the staff of The Times had to be evacuated. They won't be thinking about Christmas Eve for the rest of their lives.

The men and horses of the fire station rushed in and quickly withdrew, and even the highly trained warriors could not stand it. Before escaping, they lasted less than three minutes in the 'hell' of one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After a long time of tossing, the sanitation department of New York drove a cleaning vehicle to the rescue. The health department also sent an ambulance to help relocate the trapped people at the site.

Reporters from several television stations hurried to the scene and set up long guns and short guns aimed at the ground floor exit of the Times building. At this moment, a group of "Times" staff members rushed out wrapped in blankets, and reporters stepped forward one after another, despite the blockade.

"Oh, I saw Mr. Bratton. I know him and I have a very good relationship with him. I thought I could go up and interview him.

Mr. Bratton, can you answer a few questions? What's really going on in the building? What causes toilet spray? Are there any casualties?

Sir, say something. The whole of New York and the whole of America is watching you. The American people have the right to know. Tell us about your own feelings, what happened to you? ”

The staff in the building didn't want to speak at all, and they didn't want to say a word.

The reporter could only turn to look at the camera, shook his head and said, "It seems that Mr. Bratton is in a bad mood, and he left without paying attention to us." I can understand, really understand. I don't want to talk either.

Actually, I have to be thankful that he didn't give an interview. Because the moment I got close to him, my nose and lungs were badly injured.

I can't breathe, I can't breathe. It was a terrible night, and we have deep sympathy for Mr. Bratton and our counterparts at The New York Times. ”

The reporter said sympathy, but there was no sympathy on his face.

Since there was no fire and no people trapped, the fire department quickly withdrew. They said it wasn't their job and they weren't professional in dealing with.

The people from the sanitation department appeared with a bitter and bitter expression, mainly with water pipes to flush everywhere and discharge sewage into the sewer.

During this time, the Times staff also had to find a way to salvage office equipment and materials from the filth. It's a terrible job, because it's hard for them to judge how valuable a piece of information is worth when it's covered in.

In the end, it can only be completely classified as garbage.

When the fire station left, TV reporters rushed to interview them, mainly asking about the situation in the building.

The firefighters took off their heat-insulated helmets, frowned, shook their heads and sighed, "We didn't find the injured, but the condition inside the building is terrible." All floors are disgusting, and the place is really unbearable.

It will take at least a week to complete the cleanup, and it will only take two or three months to renovate. During this period, Times reporters had to find another place to work. At present, it is inconvenient to make too many comments, and the police need to intervene in the investigation. ”

The firefighters have seen a lot of disaster scenes and have enough psychological quality to face the tragic accident. But the toilet spraying in the whole building really doesn't count, this is the first time I've seen it.

The New York Times had such a big incident, and the New York City Police Department also sent officers to the scene. The reporters went to the police officers who were surrounding the scene to ask for interviews and asked the same questions.

The police only said that they would conduct an in-depth investigation, but they were still very cautious in their words. But someone entered the building and commented to the media as a 'well-informed person'.

"As far as we see so far, we tend to be malicious sabotage, otherwise it would not be possible for all the sewers to fail.

It was most likely a bad prank, suspecting that someone had thrown a tiny explosive device into the toilet. Technicians have recovered evidence from the scene, such as fragments of an explosive device. ”

The reporters immediately asked: "How did the police find evidence from the scene?" ”

"That's the way you want it to. This time the criminals are really bad. He not only made the New York Times miserable, but also harmed the New York Police Department.

There weren't enough technicians, so we had to send more police to look for clues in an extremely disgusting environment. So don't let us catch that guy, or we'll have to clean him up. This bomber is so bad and disgusting. ”

The reporter immediately grabbed the nickname given by the police to the possible suspect, and the next day the front page headlines of the major media were all the same name - the bomber blew up the New York Times!
