Transcript from WABC-TV 7 Morning News.
Alone, in the early morning darkness on the grounds of New York University, stands a familiar face for many who follow WABC-TV 7 news faithfully: early morning beat reporter Serena Blansett. The dull pinkish glow of the campus’s safety lamps illuminates her uncharacteristically glum expression as she stands in front of a scorched and sooty wall near the campus’s student center and – perhaps more noticeably – in the midst of a steady shower of $20 bills. The marquee has her name printed neatly at the bottom of the screen, with her location (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON SQUARE, MANHATTAN) underneath. BLANSETT: At roughly 1:37 AM this morning, campus security at New York University reported three ATM explosions dotted around the central quad of their Washington Square location. Motive has yet to be determined in the case, although connections to Monday’s budget announcement from NYU’s board of directors seem to be cited as an early possibility by investigators. Little clue as to the identification of the perpetrators has been left, save for a shard of shrapnel with a yellow circle and two lines. A graphic inset shows up in the upper right hand corner with an artist’s reconstruction of the shrapnel graffiti, which looks strikingly similar to one of the arms of this logo. As it appears, a lone bill settles onto the crook of Blansett’s arm. Chagrined, she is only allowed to look as it then floats away in the breeze. BLANSETT: Sighing. This is Serena Blansett for WABC news. |
