‘Party Pirate’ jet skiers make dramatic rescue of teen who jumped from Brooklyn Bridge

🔮 They could see a police boat with rescue ropes at the ready racing toward a man standing on top of the bridge — and watched him jump seconds later.

🔮 Central Park’s horse-drawn carriage drivers said they feel “betrayed” and forgotten Wednesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin struck a deal to ban the centuries-old practice.

🔮 “As we have said, the owner of the Second Avenue property originally approached us regarding a potential sale, and we recognized that the site’s proximity to our hospital could help support these long-term community healthcare needs,” said Steve Ritea of NYU Langone Health.

🔮 The irate Avila-Chevalier — a DSA candidate endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani — turns to the supervising cop and gets in his face as he tries to hold the barricade, yelling “stop escalating… you are escalating… you are pushing.”

🔮 Hermann Merkel was the first to document the blight in 1904 — writing that “unless some radical measures are taken, or a natural enemy of this fungus develops, it is safe to predict that not a live specimen of the American Chestnut will be found two years hence in the neighborhood of the Zoological Park,” the former name of the Bronx Zoo. The blight would go on to decimate nearly 4 billion American chestnut trees across North America, rendering it “functionally extinct.” But the 20 saplings aren’t exactly the same trees whose canopy once blanketed the US — the 3-foot-tall trees planted Monday are a hybrid mix that horticulturalists hope will make them stronger against the blight they expect to eventually creep onto the trees. “These trees most likely will get the disease, and it will impact them.
