Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Safe bet this plumber was unlicensed and uninsured. Now they lost everything, smart kid.
I went to PS 133. Great work Siam.
Aw come-on Crap!
Your blog is getting stale. If I wanted to see this I would watch Channel 2 - some real hard hitting stuff there.
How about posting some other stuff we know you are holding back ....
I have no idea what you think I am "holding back". Maybe I'll shut the blog down since you think it's stale and it takes up too much of my time.
Or focus on "Queens crap" instead of pointless reposts.
What's pointless about it? There were repairs done to the home and then it went on fire. The kid put into practice what he learned in a NYC public school to save his family. Contractors, repairs, fires, schools are all something covered on this blog from time to time.
Also, once in awhile, people like to hear good news because it gives them pride in their neighborhood and their neighbors.
In other words, if you don't like it, leave.
I applaud QC for posting this, because there's more than a "heroic five year old" angle to this story. Of course this should be the lead, but there are questions that weren't asked:
1. Wasn't it irresponsible for the plumber/plumbers to "run off" without letting the residents of the house know they set fire to it?
2. What exactly do plumbers do that can start a fire? I thought pipes were threaded and not welded.
TEACHERS ROCK!!!!
Michelle Charlesworth is just about the most cloying reporter I have ever seen on the boob tube. Begging for hugs for the camera, high-fiving the kid. What did the kid do that was so great? He screamed his head off. He loint dat in skrool?
At least Lassie could save unconscious Gramps by pulling him down the stairs and out the door.
Bellrose (sic) Perhaps it's time ABC learned to spell neighborhood names right. Better yet, how about hiring locals, instead of Midwestern transplants?

ahh, feels like home!

copper pipes, sheet metal, gutters, etc are often soldered with a blow torch.
and yes, crap is toning it down lately simply reposting main stream news without comment more and more rather than going after politicans and developers with brilliant scatheing insight like the old days.
Yeah, Crapper, when was the last time you did one of your Photoshop masterpieces (like you did with Pinky)?
When I posted about the Vallones having a building named after them.
I guess some people have selective memory and must have things their way.
If you don't like the way this blog is handled, maybe you should start your own. I've said this from the very beginning, yet instead of doing that, you're still here.
Great kid - good example as a hero to lives to all children.
Fire Marshalls should go after the plumber or individual who probably was using a torch to solder a fitting.
