Accident at Mobile Gas Station on Knapp St.

Mobile Gas Station on Knapp Street and Gerritsen Ave in Sheepshead Bay

Gas Station in Sheepshead BayWhen I pull into a gas station, I go with the mentality that even a tap against one of the pumps will lead to an explosion that’ll take out half of Brooklyn. Sure, it’s not realistic, but it keeps me from making an irresponsible move. The driver who nailed this pump at the Mobile station on Knapp Street and Gerritsen Avenue should’ve been thinking more like me. We’re not exactly sure what happened here, as the attendant on hand kept mum about the incident, but we do know it happened last night. The truck there now wasn’t involved; it’s there to protect people from being hurt. What’s going on in Brooklyn these days? Cars ramming gas pumps? Autos going for a swim? Buses forgetting that they can’t weave in traffic like bikers? It must be because 2012 is closing in. Damn Mayans…

    Perhaps in this case the pump stopped and they were simply trying to shake some gas out of it by hitting it with their car.

    Well they said the end is coming and all hell will break loose….are cats and dogs pairing up yet?

    Pardon me but I must point out that the previous posters “gas trimmer” site has been given a bad rating by the Web Of Trust site. I wish this spammer would cease from doing this on Sheepshead Bites.

    Pardon me but I must point out that the poster who links to “Gas Trimmer” is linking to a site which has been given a poor rating by the Web Of Trust site. This is not only spam but it is potentially dangerous.

    Let's Party like it's 2012. Bring on the virgin sacrifices and the warrior ready to give up their lives for the Nation. Oh I forgot. We've been doing that for some time now in Iraq and Afghanistan.
