-Short Attention Span Theater-
Eight-hundred pound woman is rescued from her NYC apartment with a massive net
2015-08-23
[The Mail] An obese woman in need of medical attention was rescued from her second-story apartment in East Harlem by New York City firefighters who had a net that could hold her nearly 800lb body.

City paramedics arrived at the woman's apartment on 111th Street around 1.15pm and quickly realized that she was too large to fit through the front door of the dwelling.

The emergency workers were able to treat the woman but they called in the firefighters so she could be removed from the apartment and taken to St Luke's Hospital.
Disassembly would have required less heavy equipment and might have been more advantageous to tax payers in the long-term.

In progress! A Harlem uprising!"
Now, thanks to my menu
And slight shift in venue,
Manhattan is saved from capsizing!
