Huge NY Marathon Generators Could Ease Suffering of Hurricane Disaster – Other Needed Relief Resources Being Diverted to Marathon

People are dead and suffering in the New York area, yet Bloomberg says that The Race Must Go On.

Huge NY Marathon Generators Could Ease Suffering of Sally Disaster

Not only is Brain dead Bloomberg allowing the NY Marathon to go on in the midst of terrible storm destruction, where many people died, and many other people’s lives are ruined, but the NY Marathon will also be selfishly using three huge diesel-powered generators to power a media tent at the marathon that could be used to help the suffering people in the area.

Actually, the marathon media tent will only be using two of the three generators, but they have the third as a back-up, just in case something happens to one of the other two.

These three huge diesel-powered generators could produce 800 kilowatts, which is enough power to supply 400 homes with the electricity needed to keep the people from freezing, or from having to eat out of dumpsters to get a meal.

These brain-dead jackasses even diverted more than a dozen NYPD flatbed trucks away from disaster-relief work areas to help set-up the marathon.

Talk about priorities being completely out-of-whack! Instead of actually helping the people in Staten Island, the Rockaways and downtown Manhattan, Bloomberg has put the success of the NY Marathon over the lives and well-being of the people affected by the storm.

We smell the funk of the Obama administration on this. What do you bet that Obama told Bloomberg to go forward with the marathon because it may help take more of the media’s eyes off Obama’s tanking in the polls, or the growing Benghazi-Gate Scandal and Coverup – which if properly reported on, would all but ensure that Obama is not re-elected.

As hundreds of thousands of Big Apple residents suffer in homes left without power by Hurricane Sandy, two massive generators are being run 24/7 in Central Park — to juice a media tent for Sunday’s New York City Marathon.

And a third “backup” unit sits idle, in case one of the generators fails.

The three diesel-powered generators crank out 800 kilowatts — enough to power 400 homes in ravaged areas like Staten Island, the Rockaways and downtown Manhattan.

Since emergency executive orders have been issued, the governor, mayor — or even President Obama — could take the generators for a more important use, explained Pace University law professor Bennett Gershman.

Such an emergency action would need the approval of the City Council, state Legislature or Congress. And they would have to compensate the owners of the devices.

But plenty in the city wish they had taken such decisive action. After all, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie postponed Halloween for safety reasons, so Gov. Cuomo or Mayor Bloomberg should issue an executive order for lifesaving generators.

“We’re struggling here, and we want the city to know that,” Councilwoman Margaret Chin of Chinatown said yesterday.

She asked the Office of Emergency Management on Tuesday for a generator to run pumps to get water to stranded seniors.

“They’re telling me there are other priorities,” Chin said.

One hotel on Staten Island has its priorities straight.

Frank Sanchez, the general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn, said he will not honor marathoners’ reservations if it means throwing out storm refugees.

“While we understand they have reservations, we know they are going back to their regular lives in two days. Our neighbors will not have that opportunity,’’ he e-mailed The Post.

The New York Road Runners Club, which organizes the world-famous race, is paying for the generators, which were supplied by Long Island-based On Site Energy for the massive, 80-yard-long tent, which also will be used by runners carbo-loading during a pre-race pasta dinner tomorrow.

Neither would say how much the machines cost, but a Fire Department permit revealed a $37,500 fee to run them constantly through Nov. 6.

“These are our private generators. We are not draining any resources from the city’s plan to recover,” Road Runners spokesman Richard Finn angrily insisted.

Still, Con Ed said yesterday that some of its customers would remain without power for more than a week.

Meanwhile, sources told The Post precious city resources were also being diverted to prepare for the marathon, including more than a dozen NYPD flatbed trucks taken from disaster-relief work at sites including Breezy Point, Queens, where more than 100 homes burned to the ground.
