Pipe breaks, spills sewage into river
From Times Wire Reports
A broken pipe spilled up to 2 million gallons of raw sewage into the Hudson River north of New York City as workers scrambled to repair the damage.
Westchester County health officials warned boaters, water skiers and divers to stay out of the river because of potential health problems presented by the sewage.
The 48-inch underground pipe broke Friday afternoon, apparently ruptured by a tree that came loose during a landslide in Yonkers, officials said.
