Downtown Manhattanites were understandably distressed tonight after the scaffolding in front of the Gap and the N/R 8th street subway stop collapsed, seemingly for no reason. But as it turns out, two jerkoff cabbies were playing chicken or something on Broadway and crashed into the structure’s support beams, sending it all tumbling down, so it’s safe to walk under scaffolding again, I guess. |Gawker|
