NYT covers breaking news within eyeshot of its new HQ:

We would like to hear from witnesses who saw the plane go down. Call our Metro Desk editorial assistants at (212) 556-1533. Anyone with images of the crash and rescue is asked to e-mail them to cityroom.nyt@gmail.com.

A Gmail address.

[Update 18 Jan 00:35: “Send in your photos: pix@nyt.com.” Since when does nyt.com redirect to nytimes.com?]

    My guess is the Metro Desk editors asked, “Hey, can our mail system handle thousands of image files from thousands of senders over a few minutes?” And the IT department *RESPONDED*, “Hell no! Use Gmail for that.”
