Live from Brooklyn: Three People Just Ran Into a Sewer—and We’re Watching It Unfold
We’re watching a sewer chase. Right now.
Not a metaphor. Not a video game.
Three actual humans are being chased by NYPD and—according to multiple livestreams—they just ran into a sewer in Brooklyn.
Yes. A sewer.
And we’re tracking it through the Citizen app, where viewers are filming, speculating, and trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
This is happening in real time.
And I’m not just watching it—I picked up the phone and called ABC and NBC News to tell them they should be watching too.

Let me set the scene.
My kid and I are at home, scrolling Citizen. We tap into the top alert. It says something about police at a sewer entrance. Weird already.
Then the footage starts.
One guy’s filming like he’s doing recon in a spy thriller. At one point he mutters, “I gotta pee,” but keeps recording. Because priorities.
No context. No explanations. Just a bunch of strangers trying to piece together what’s happening beneath the streets of Brooklyn.
We asked the chat: “Are there any reporters on site?”
Crickets.
So we decided to stop being viewers and become signal boosters.
The Power of Curiosity in a Broken Info Ecosystem
This wasn’t just entertainment. It was a media void—and nobody was filling it.
Citizen gave us access, but curiosity gave us purpose.
When things get weird, ask questions.
When nobody has answers, make the call.
When the institutions lag, fill the gap.
This is what civic curiosity looks like. No press badge. No special training. Just a dad, a kid, a phone—and the decision to do something.
It’s not about “going viral.” It’s about not letting the story die in a livestream chat thread.
From Passive Viewing to Active Witnessing
We’re all flooded with content. Alerts, pings, clips, chaos.
Most of it we scroll past. But this one hit different.
It reminded me that just watching isn’t enough anymore.
If you see something strange, something unsettling, something unanswered—don’t just consume it. Trace it. Question it. Escalate it.
The media won’t always show up. Sometimes, you have to be the one who picks up the phone.
Updates to follow—if the news stations pick it up, or if we figure out what happened in that sewer. For now, here’s your front-row seat:
Strap in. Ask questions. Stay curious.
And if you’re livestreaming a police chase in Brooklyn? Maybe mute your mic before announcing your bathroom status.
