Talk:Timeline of New York City crimes and disasters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of the events on this page really don't belong. The title says "disasters" and famous murders such as John Lennon or Sanford White don't fit. (The Son of Sam I could agree was something of a disaster as it did affect the city.) A few items I just added are more obvious cases of events that were disasters for the city, notably the fires and epidemics that used to hit the city in the 1700s and 1800s. For more about the fires -- up to 500 per year -- see [1]. - Rbs 09:13, 2004 Feb 14 (UTC)

This list is interesting, but a mess. It should be split into two: New York City disasters containing train wrecks, fires, plane crashes, plagues and a few high-profile crimes (like 9/11) and a seperate list of High profile crimes of New York City. As it stands, this list has no consistency.--Jackyd101 07:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
