3 days agoPeople urged to stay away from East Coast beach amid explosion fears
Stay 300 feet away from the shoreline due to a dead whale on Rockaway Beach, as it may explode from gas buildup during decomposition.
"These sightings were very close to beachgoers. But thanks to drone tech, lifeguards, and the dedicated professionals at @nycemergencymgt, we're keeping everyone safe as they enjoy the holiday."
"As Rockaway's historic renaissance continues, ensuring New Yorkers and tourists alike have easy access to the peninsula's acclaimed beaches, cuisine and culture is a critical investment in its economic health more than anything else..."
I'm glad that the Parks Department is going to continue allowing Rockaway residents to enjoy their bikes on the boardwalk this summer, but now we need real enforcement.
