The company seeking to run a gas pipeline under Floyd Bennett Field and build a meter and regulating station in a historic airplane hangar there commissioned a report that found a .2 percent chance the planned facility would be flooded, even amid rising sea levels.
The Williams Transco pipeline company’s report came in response to an April 4 letter from the New York Department of State seeking reassurance that the station couldn’t be breeched after the Federal Emergency Management Agency updated its flood maps, post-Hurricane Sandy.
“Infrastructure in general was severely impacted by Sandy and NYDOS would not be adequately addressing coastal policies if we did not try to ensure that new infrastructure projects were able to withstand coastal impacts, including flooding,” Laz Benitez, an NYDOS spokesman said in an email.

ONLY ON SHEEPSHEAD BITES: Emergency responders left Shaun Smith to die because she is transgender, claims a lawsuit brought by the victim’s mother. The Sheepshead Bay attorney representing her says it’s part of a disturbing national trend of discrimination against transgender patients.
The allegations stem from a June 15, 2012, incident, when Smith’s mother, Jenette Cox called 911 after Smith – a transgender woman who was born a man – went into diabetic shock. When EMS responders arrived on the scene and found the victim to be transgender, they failed to render services, Cox alleges.
“This is somebody who needed urgent care and didn’t get it, and basically what stopped them were breasts on an originally male body,” said Ilya Novofastovsky, the Sheepshead Bay attorney representing Cox in the malpractice and discrimination case against the NYPD and the FDNY, which operates the EMS.
Novofastovsky said discrimination against transgender people by emergency responders and medical workers is a nationwide problem that causes a delay or absence of care, and leads to additional suffering and even death for the patient.
Court papers state Smith, who had no history of diabetes, died of diabetic ketoacidosis, which results from a shortage of insulin.

This is a paid announcement from T&D Bakery, located at 2307 Avenue U.
T&D Bakery is celebrating its 30th anniversary tomorrow by rolling back prices to 1983!
This Friday, March 15, from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. you can relive the 80s!
A young Domenico Del Ponte immigrated from Italy, filled with fear and hope, and started this “mom and pop” shop with his wife Immacolata (Tina) by his side. With a lot of hard work and dedication they made the impossible tangible.
T&D Bakery was established in March of 1983 and is still going strong.
Domenico baked and delivered Italian goods to grocery stores throughout Brooklyn. As the business grew, so did their four children: Guiseppina, Angelo, Elmelinda, and Immacolata (little Tina). They instilled their children with the same work ethic and dedication they invested for the past 30 years.
The children are now at the helm of T&D bakery, continuing old traditions for the future. As they work, they raise their own children into T&D Bakery, making three generations of great baking and family tradition a staple for this “one-of-kind” bakery.
Be sure to stop by and sample some of the best baked goods in Brooklyn!
