On December 16, 1960, a mid-air collision over Staten Island left 134 people dead; one of the two aircraft that had collided crashed in Park Slope in Brooklyn. The only initial survivor, Stephen Baltz, an 11-year-old boy from Illinois, was thrown from that aircraft onto a snowbank. Badly burned and having inhaled burning fuel, he was taken to what was then Brooklyn's Methodist Hospital, where he succumbed to pneumonia the next day. A plaque inside the hospital’s chapel commemorates the event, including the 65¢ that were found in the boy’s pocket upon arrival. [3]
In 2014, the hospital announced plans to construct a new ambulatory care building on property already owned by the facility. A local community group, Preserve Park Slope, [4] filed a lawsuit to overturn a decision by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals to approve plans for the building. [5] Construction began on the $445 million project in 2016 despite vigorous community opposition. [6] [7] [8]
