The really crazy thing is that this is just reported car crashes. The NYPD has largely stopped responding to crashes without injuries so the real number is probably higher.

fuck the nypd.

but two cargo planes? are you referring to the single surveillance plane they run, the cessna caravan? or am I missing something?

I doubt they run cargo, it's almost certainly kitted out with elint and tracking gear, probably multiple sets of different kinds of cameras (FOVs and zoom) and lots of antennas.
