Woman gave birth to baby in lobby on Brooklyn Ave and Dean St during storm

Damn I was hoping for a positive outcome, that's sad

thats sad , hey bl i haven't seen you post in a long time!

Sad story. Apparently the Mother, a college senior, was trying to hide the pregnancy from her family. She and her boyfriend planned to put the baby up for adoption.

She had begun to walk to the hospital when her water broke and she sought shelter in the building.

Apparently help was called, but arrived much too late.

its very unfortunate, also the emergency services rely too much on their machines. in wild they would walk those things to the person who would need it and carry/wheel them out.

they could of gotten a either snowmobile or atv to pull those sled like stretchers if they really needed a machine.

This is heartbreaking. From the link above:

By the time a horde of firefighters and cops finally trooped to her aid through snow-covered blocks, the baby was unconscious and unresponsive, sources said.

Details of the tragedy emerged as the abominable snowstorm continued to wreak havoc across a city still digging out from the wintry blast. Some of the other blizzard horrors include:

- In Queens, a woman tried to reach 911 operators for 20 minutes Monday and then waited for three hours for first responders to arrive. By then, her mom had died, state Sen. Jose Peralta's office said.

Laura Freeman, 41, said her mother, Yvonne Freeman, 75, woke her at 8 a.m. because she was having trouble breathing. When the daughter couldn't get through to 911, she enlisted neighbors and relatives, who also began calling.

One of the callers reached an operator at 8:20 a.m., but responders stymied by snow-clogged streets didn't reach the Corona home until 11:05 a.m., said Peralta, who wants the death investigated.

"The EMS workers walked down the block trudging through snow," Freeman said. "They tried. I could tell by the look on their faces. I really would just like [Mayor] Bloomberg to admit that there were casualties."

- A woman in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, was forced to spend the night with her dead father after the medical examiner's office took more than 24 hours to claim his body. Ismael Vazquez died at 10:31 a.m. on Monday, and the 82-year-old man's body remained in his bed until 1 p.m. yesterday. His daughter kept vigil in the living room.

"This is New York City, and I'm a New Yorker, and this is not the first storm we've ever had," said Florence Simancas, 51, holding back tears. "Somebody dropped the ball ... big-time."

I like the mayor for most parts but he is a bit too manhattancentric.

Yeah but how bout those sanitation guys? I didnt see any plows on my street until across the street neighbor (who is in sanitation) tried to drive his SUV down the block. He got stuck and sure enough his buddies from sanitation show up with a Front end loader to get him out and then it was another day till we got plowed. never seen so few plows, all with their plows high up over the street.

If somone videotaped this im sure those guys would get in a heap of trouble. Kinda like the guy in SI that got fired a year or two ago when he used one of those machines to plow out his driveway
