HUNTER COLLEGE— On a Monday afternoon last month, the jaws of Hunter students and faculty dropped as a brown, soggy ceiling panel crashed to the ground on the third-floor sky bridge.
It’s unclear for how long, but water had been leaking before the panel fell.
Students gathered and watched in awe as brown water streamed from the now-exposed pipes above. Both gasps and tired sighs can be heard in videos taken by observers. They watched as the murky water seeped under the doors of neighboring rooms.
