NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Twenty-five years ago Monday, New Yorkers experienced a day like few others.
It began early with problems on the Long Island Rail Road as workers on the busy commuter rail line went on strike, complicating things for all those going to work plus the millions of fans headed to Manhattan for the Rangers' Stanley Cup victory parade.
Then news broke that O.J. Simpson had been charged in the double murder five nights before of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
He was expected to turn himself in, but that didn't happen.
Hours later, the world watched as Simpson, with friend Al Cowlings at the wheel, led police on a slow-speed chase in the Los Angeles area.
Most of New York was watching Patrick Ewing and the Knicks in the NBA finals when suddenly NBC split the screen to show the bizarre, slow escape.
Simpson was eventually taken into custody.
