Last night, Rescue helicopter landing in PS 32 Schoolyard

Car Plunges Into Gowanus: Police Helicopter

****Update****

I took these photos this morning as the police got the car out of the canal. The driver apparently made it out safely. It would appear that there were no others in the car with him.Overnight, a car plunged into the Gowanus Canal at Bond and DeGraw. I heard the helicopters overhead at about 1 AM, but then fell asleep again. Here are two accounts from readers. If you have any further information or photos, please send it to pardonmeinbrooklyn@gmail.com

Well, due to too much wine with the neighbors I missed all the excitement last night and slept through the whole thing. According to the boys a car went into the canal at Degraw around 1:00 AM. I wouldn't believe them but they have a picture of the helicopter that landed in PS 32. They said a man escaped but 2 kids were still missing. I am not sure how accurate their reporting is.
There is a car in the canal at Bond st. On my roof last night late lots of fire.cops and helicopters about 1 am or i would have called you. Police thought it crashed through barrier but not sure no evidence of that supposedly. But is is half submerged. Police divers boats all in the canal underwater lights the works. A big scene very weird to have happen now with all the attention. Cops told me not sure how it got there not sure how the call came in but it was there right in the middle, trunk popped open. Very surreal scene. When i left they were still not saying if anyone was inside. doing this remote a bit of a pain so that is all for now.
