Knicks fan uses traffic cameras to document elation, chaos outside MSG during Finals

Article excerpt

A creative Knicks fan hacked into New York City traffic cameras to capture the mayhem outside Madison Square Garden during the NBA Finals, turning surveillance footage into a real-time documentation of the celebration and disorder. The footage shows packed streets, impromptu parties, and the kind of unruly scenes that accompany a championship run in Manhattan. The fan's unauthorized use of city infrastructure to chronicle the moment raises questions about security vulnerabilities in public systems, even as it provides a unique vantage point on how New Yorkers responded to their team's historic run.
