The video, shown to The Brooklyn Papers in Rubenstein’s office this week, begins as Avvinti drives his SUV past the supermarket on 20th Avenue, making a U-turn on 73rd Street before double-parking beside a white automobile directly in front of the store at 12:02 pm. He waits there for about three minutes while his wife, Carmela, shops next door and then walks in front of the camera on her way into the supermarket.

Less than a minute later, two passersby come to his aid as he gets into his car. “After he went into the car, he never came out,” said Dinacola, who lives in Queens. “He was a dying man.” Soon after, 20th Avenue becomes the scene of pandemonium. More than a dozen passersby surround the vehicle. The man whose car is blocked in by Avvinti briefly opens his passenger- side door, closes it, and joins the crowd. Someone leaving the store drops several plastic bags on the sidewalk to investigate the commotion. An employee appears soon after with a cart, which she loads with those bags and wheels back inside. The camera snaps Carmela Avvinti running outside, where, without bags, she dips out of view behind the SUV. Dinacola believes she dropped the bags inside the store before darting past the camera. He also believes that police have surveillance tapes shot from inside the supermarket.

Accord- ing to accounts published by reporters on board, many passengers stayed in their quarters rather than go to the dining rooms. The ship arrived under extra-tight security that has been in ef- fect for all major events in New York since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Emerging ghostlike from an early morning fog, the QM2 paused near the Statue of Liberty and sounded its deep-throated horn four times in salute. A passing Staten Island ferry tooted back. Nearly four football fields long at 1,132 feet and 21 stories tall, the massive, black-hulled vessel left England last Friday for the six days and nights of luxury living and sumptuous dining for its 2,600 passengers, attended by a crew of 1,250. After three days in port on Manhattan’s West Side, the Queen Mary 2 will depart Sunday night, rendezvousing near the Statue of Liberty with the Queen Elizabeth 2, outbound on its final trans-Atlantic run. With the new ship replacing it on the Atlantic run, the QE2 will be used mainly for Southampton-based shorter cruises. The Queen Mary 2 revives the name of the liner about half its size that debuted in New York on June 1, 1936. The Queen Mary Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does.

While radar and other state-of-the-art technologies help to tame the turbulent North Atlantic, QM2’s designers acknowl- edged the ghost of that “unsinkable” vessel, using “extra thick steel for strength for trans-Atlantic crossings,” and two whistles audible at 10 miles — one of them borrowed from the original Queen Mary, according to Cunard. The Queen Mary 2 first visited U.S. shores last January, end- ing a 14-day cruise through the Azores and Caribbean at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The ship goes into regular trans-Atlantic service with 12 crossings scheduled this year and 26 next year.
