Central Park Fireworks Scare Some

Central Park Fireworks Scare Some Neighbors

"Dozens of people called the police last night after hearing the loud booms of a fireworks display in Central Park."

And here it is. Your obligatory "New Yorkers are still scared that everything is terrorism, so we shouldn't have stuff like this anymore" quote:

Patricia Houlihan, of West 68th Street: "Now that we're in such terrible times, they really shouldn't have fireworks like that."

Isn't it more scary that these people didn't know this Ring of Fire thing was happening? They didn't pick up a newspaper, turn on a tv, listen to the radio, see it online, hear it from a friend (or doorman in that neighborhood) beforehand? Do they live under a rock?
