Now on the property of the Bhavaanee Maa Mandir, it reads:

Losing control of your car in the snow and sliding into a wooden fence usually isn't that big of a deal, except when the fence conceals an immediate plunge over a retaining wall. I passed by earlier on the upper-level street, shortly after the accident, and a guy who seemed like the owner of the car was joking around with the police, so I don't think anyone was seriously injured. And the house beside the fence wasn't damaged either.
I saw quite a few abandoned cars here in Spring Creek Park.
Dedicated on November 11, 2001, this memorial in the middle of the Louis Pink Houses was, according to the NYC Housing Authority, the "first permanent national memorial" to those lost on 9/11. You can see the individual plaques here.
