I don't know which of these facts is more frightening:
Two one-ton horses broke loose near the Meatpacking district this morning, galloping down sidewalks among startled morning commuters, after the stagecoach they were pulling tipped over and the drivers were flung from their seats.
or this:
The red stagecoach, promoting a new Shania Twain fragrance by Stetson's....
Probably the second thing.

Also, where in the unwritten rules of journalism is it mandated that reporters use incredibly stupid quotes from bystanders to any event?
"I heard someone screaming, 'Look out! Watch out!' " said Carla Morreale, a software company employee, who had just come out of the Subway stop when she saw the horses bearing down on her. She ducked into a building entryway with two other women. "You don't expect horses to be charging towards you on your way to work on the sidewalk in Manhattan," she said.
Or on the sidewalk anywhere, Carla.
Chester Burroughs, 62, was sitting at his desk just inside the lobby of the Teamsters building on 14th street when he saw the horses run by. "I had to get up and look again," he said. "It was strange to see two horses loose on 14th Street."
I'll bet it was strange, Chester. Listen, have you met Carla? You two should have obvious babies together. Jesus.
