Retaining Wall Collapses on New York City Highway;  No Injuries, but Cars
Buried After Hillside Gives Way; Gab & Eti are Safe, But Preservation-L
Listserv Wiped Out
(May 13) - A 75-foot-high stone retaining wall built in 1908 collapsed in a
roaring avalanche onto the Henry Hudson Parkway in Upper Manhattan
yesterday afternoon. No one was believed killed or hurt, but parked cars
were buried and traffic in the region was thrown into bedlam for the
evening rush.
