Earlier this week on Tuesday evening, a 25 year-old woman drove her minivan into the murky waters of the Hudson River here in Newburgh, NY killing herself and three of her four children. Her ten year-old escaped after he managed to roll down a window and literally swim to shore and flag down a car. He was then taken to nearby fire department HQ, where a massive search and rescue operation began. Unfortunately for me as a news photographer, I wasn’t able to respond to this unfolding event right in our backyard so to speak, as that’s the same night I was initially being treated for a severe medical condition which kept me hospitalized for three days. *(See “Don’t Try This at Home…” below.) I promised myself that at some point when I was well enough to go out, I’d at least get down to the scene and pay my respects, and analyze the location and logisitcs of that night for myself… ~cg.
