This page contains articles related to the New York City Spring 2020 mass casualty event, presented in chronological order. I am working on a page that organizes the articles topically.
The post immediately below was written in June 2023, roughly a month after the first part of a presentation to PANDA Open Science, and presents the more formalized efforts I had undertaken on the New York front via Substack since September of 2022 as an open inquiry in the public interest (as opposed to a structured, planned, and/or funded research project).
In December 2024, I wrote New York City Spring 2020: An unsubstantiated mass casualty event that appears fraudulent and staged as a personalized narrative and interim summary of my investigation:
The most comprehensive summary of the major data issues with the New York event is Eleven Sets of Serious Problems with the New York City Mass Casualty Event of Spring 2020, revised version 31 December 2025.
