In a short interval between panda strokes and greenmarket browsing, Gothamist launches their News Map, a Google Maps contraption that tracks raw data from emergency calls around New York. Only the most bare minimum of data, and some of the truncated call event descriptions (especially those in the "Unmapped Incidents" box) are kind of hilarious. "Shots Fired" and "Perp Search" are pretty self-explanatory, but how do the authorities handle an "Unusual Occurence" at Battery Place and West Street? Lots of outer-borough danger as well; Brooklyn sports a "Bias Attack" and "Trauma," among other unpleasantness.
