We’re really late on this, but we wanted to get it on the record. Some may have seen the burned-out taxi on Chester Avenue between 45th and 43rd last week. A power line came down on the cab at about 11 a.m. on June 1. We heard about the incident but didn’t think much of it until we saw the photos.

The taxi burst into flames and the emergency personel folks basically had to watch it burn until PECO showed up to turn the power off. Nobody’s fault, but some pretty interesting pictures. Phil Forest has a series of photos of the whole thing going down.
