The wind - of all things - toppled a New York City wind turbine which then crushed an unoccupied parked car, according to reports. The incident Monday afternoon in the Bronx had elected officials who represent the area shaking their heads. “A wind turbine should not be able to be taken down by the wind,” the New York Post quoted Jamaal Bailey, who serves in the New York State Senate, as saying. The wind turbine was erected recently atop a six-story parking garage, according to reports. No injuries were reported, according to Fox 5 New York. The station reported the wind turbine went up only two weeks ago. On the way down, the wind turbine also struck an electronic billboard that has been the subject of lawsuits involving the billboard’s owner and the New York City Buildings Department, according to the station. The New York Fire Department is investigating.

With the New York Police Department set to monitor New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square via drone for the very first time this evening, authorities claim the iconic New York ball drop will be the 'safest place on Earth' to see in the new decade. Thousands of plainclothes and uniformed police officers will be on duty for Tuesday night's festivities, along with specialized units armed with long guns, bomb-sniffing dogs and a series of various other safety measures. But in what is considered a historic first, police drones are expected to take to the sky to keep an aerial watch on the hundreds of thousands of revelers expected to attend the big, confetti-filled celebration later this evening. #NYPD #K9

In the past week, one more American died of vaping-related illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday. The epidemic of lung illnesses seems to have peaked in September, and the latest data from US health officials suggest the crisis may at last be winding down. Still, 2,561 people have been hospitalized since the 'outbreak' began, with illnesses reported in every state and the deaths of 55 people confirmed across 27 states. And earlier this month, CDC principal deputy director Dr Anne Schuchat announced what she called a 'concerning new phenomenon': more people being readmitted to hospitals for lung illness after being discharged. US officials are also more 'confident' than ever that the vitamin E acetate, a diluting agent used in many THC vaping products, is the 'cause' of the majority of cases in the 'explosive outbreak' of the condition they call EVALI, Dr Schuchat said in a recent press briefing. ☠️ #vaping
