The great flood of '92
Vincent Liggio, Alum
School of Engineering and Applied Science 1993
School of Engineering and Applied Science 1992


Who would have thought that living on the 12th floor of John Jay would require flood insurance? One day a standpipe broke on the 14th floor, and a foot of water flooded the 14th and 12th floors of the building. No one expected to have to bring their scuba gear to college!
