Massive Junkyard Fire Leaves Much of New York Covered In Acrid Smoke

Large parts of Newark, New Jersey, and nearby New York City woke up to a cloud of cough-inducing smoke early Tuesday caused by a massive junkyard fire. The blaze, which reportedly broke out at the Eastern Metal Recycling Terminal in Port Newark around 8:30 p.m. local time on Monday, was still raging nearly 12 hours later as firefighters struggled to snuff out the flames. The fire’s origin remains unclear.Newark’s Department of Public Safety released a statement around 10:00 a.m.

Helicopter footage from local outlet ABC7 showed firefighters using large crane-like excavators to sift through large heaps of burning scrap metal like some kind of dystopian claw machine rummaging for toys buried beneath mounds of sheet metal. Several pockets of fire flared up as the crews worked, sending plumes of thick, acrid smoke up into the air. Smoke from the fire grew so dense that it could be seen blanketing over nearby lower Manhattan.

Mr. Ed recommends Ivermectin for the stupid! So she qualifies!
