Giant Popsicle Disaster

An attempt to erect the world's largest popsicle in a city square ended with a scene straight out of a disaster film, but much stickier.

The 25-foot-tall, 171/2-ton popsicle treat of frozen Snapple unexpectedly quickly melted in the midday sun Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with pink fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.

Firefighters closed off several streets and used hoses to wash away the sugary goo as the 35,000-pound, Kiwi-Strawberry flavored pop gushed thousands of gallons of liquid.

giant repost!

i worked RIGHT across the street from that park less than 6 months ago. i had some GREAT picture taking opportunities of the republican national convention from my office window. it's too bad i'm not working there anymore, but since i moved, the commute would suck anyway (otherwise, i'd have taken pictures)
