NYC has an omni-present surveillance camera system. But it didn’t catch the shooter

New York City has an elaborate omni-present surveillance system. So why didn’t it catch the subway shooting?

The city’s mayor has now revealed the surveillance cameras at a Brooklyn subway station weren’t working during the rush hour attack.

Questions have emerged as to how the fugitive gunman managed to escape capture.

New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed said the MTA cameras suffered “some sort of malfunction” when the shooter opened fire and escaped at the 36th Street and Fourth Avenue station in Sunset Park.

As officers scoured a Brooklyn neighbourhood for a man who opened fire in a subway car, at least one security camera at a nearby station recorded nothing.

The issue is now under investigation.

No CCTV vision

One senior law enforcement official says it appears none were in full operation at the time of the shooting.

The malfunction could now lead to a significant obstacle in the investigation.

Mr. Adams says officials haven’t yet determined the gunman’s motive or whether he is from New York.

The mayor announced the number of transit officers who patrol the system will be doubled.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will undertake a broader revue of the surveillance camera system.

Anonymous NYPD sources claimed the suspect’s escape may have been enabled by a police error, with Rolling Stone reporting that a local duty captain from Brooklyn South patrol reportedly did not freeze all trains in and out of the station.

The NYPD disputed the report, calling it “factually inaccurate” and that “speculation, especially in the middle of a crisis, is not helpful”.

This statement is factually inaccurate. Speculation, especially in the middle of a crisis, is not helpful to our investigation, the victims, or the people of NYC. The victims on the train relied on the subway moving to the next stop to get to safety, and seek help.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
