Still no answers in Newtown Creek black goo mystery
Some things in life are better left unknown, but this is not one of them.
On Sept. 14, Riverkeeper Patrol Boat Captain John Lipscomb came across a bizarre discovery in Newtown Creek: 216 tightly wrapped bags of black goo.
“We got about three-quarters of the way into Newtown Creek, and we came on all these little dots on the water,” Lipscomb told the Brooklyn Eagle. “I couldn’t really tell what it was until I got right up on top of it. There were hundreds of these bags, and they were floating with a little air in the corner.
