As the east side of Manhattan struggled without power, Victoria Secret serendipitously came to the aid of the National Guard when they showed up at the East Side Armory on 26th and Park with a whole bunch of HUGE generators for their upcoming fashion show.
The lingerie company graciously allowed the National Guard to use the generators to get the armory up and running to aid in relief and recovery efforts. But now, as the show date approaches Victoria's Secret has taken back the generators, and taken over the armory, so that they can have their fashion extravaganza.
The generators are impressive and we stopped by to check them out. While the National Guard based at the armory is heading to the Javits Center, many were still at and around the armory when we stopped by.
The Armory entrance on Lexington Ave, near 26th St. stands quiet as many work inside.
But troop presence weighs heavy around the building.
Across the street, Humvees are lined up and loaded with supplies.
