BTW to the person who made the uncalled for comment and then found it necessary to identify himself as an H member. If you really were a member, you would have at least spelled it correctly (or at least the RL way). Every crackpot has a computer.
Name of the Nftar is Tom Nathan from Albany, NY. An extremely nice person, always willing to help out.
You jerk! I guess if the person was not frum then he has no right to live.
I was at the seen of the accident and it was truly horrific. The lady that was the driver of the vehicle was absolutely inconsolable and understandably hysterical. I did not see any pregnant woman that was the driver’s daughter. The driver was taken to the hospital by Hatzolah because of her state of mind. May Hashem help her through this very trying time.

An elderly man was killed Tuesday when a car jumped a curb on Long Island.
The incident happened in Lawrence, where Nassau County police say the car jumped the curb, struck a pedestrian and crashed into a storefront along Central Avenue.
Eyewitness News reporter Jim Dolan has the story.
It’s a tragic story. The driver of a black SUV, which is a rental car, was trying to get into a parking space. But because she was unfamiliar with the vehicle, police say she hit the accelerator instead of the brake.
While she was in reverse, the car backed into a real estate agency located at 315 Central Avenue. But before it hit the office, it struck a 69-year-old man on the sidewalk, driving him into the business as well.
Before the paramedics reached the scene, a woman walking down the street tried to give the victim first aid.
“He was pinned to the storefront, he lost a lot of blood,” she said. “People who worked in the office ran and got towels. I tried to control the bleeding. He was conscious. He gave me his first name. A woman came over a bit later on and said, ‘I hope that’s not my husband.’ It was.”
The man later died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. The woman who was driving also had her pregnant daughter in the car. She has been taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

Mr. ‘Harzolo Member’ –
WATCH AND WASH YOUR MOUTH! GRANTED THAT NO DISTINCTION SHOULD BE MADE BETWEEN JEW OR NON-JEW BUT THE NORMAL REACTION OF ONE OF OUR OWN IS TO ASK THE QUESTION IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT SO MANY TRAGEDIES HAVE BEFALLEN US LATELY!!
AND BY THE WAY, IS YOUR SMART-‘MOUTH’ RESPONSE GOING TO REALLY IMPROVE OUR SITUATION?
YOU SOUND LIKE A REAL, LOVING JEW…
BTW – I DON’T BELIEVE YOU ARE A ‘HARZOLO’ MEMBER, ANYHOW…
yes – Thats how I think – I converted
for a reason – you dont make a differance?

Death is a terrible tragedy when it happens to anyone, jewish or non-jewish. We are all hashems children. However, within the community we feel a closeness to one another and it hurts even more. Kol yisrael arivin zeh lazeh.
Anyone know who this is?
Was a very nice man. Not from this area. Has family here.
Seams to be a yid, I see Misaskuam cleaning up all the blood from the sidewalk and from the walls.
I’m sorry to inform everyone that YES it is a YID. Boruch D’ayin Emes.

we suffer from stress at work…
We suffer from stress due to child raising…
But what causes me the most stress is when I hear yidden suffering…
No matter who, no matter when…
I humbly ask the Ribbon Shel Olam: If we, Your children are sufffering, how much more so are You, Our Father…
Please, Father, Tatty, Aba in Shamayim…Show us Your mercy…And although we may not always be on our best behavior, deep down, deep down, we want to do what is right.
Please, please, bring us home…
Your dear ben yochid..
