Mayor's Groundhog Day Controversy: A Decade Since Bill de Blasio's Staten Island Chuck Incident

On Friday, Staten Island Chuck, a famous weather-predicting groundhog, will make his prediction at the Staten Island Zoo at 7 a.m. Elected officials, dignitaries, and students from local schools will join the ceremony. The zoo aims to involve children in the event to teach them about weather science and animal adaptations. The zoo director, Ken Mitchell, highlighted the special relationship between Chuck and youngsters. CBS News New York will provide complete coverage of Chuck's prediction. This year marks the 10th anniversary of an incident where a groundhog, not Chuck but a stand-in named Charlotte, died a week after being dropped by former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio during the ceremony. The zoo clarified that Charlotte's death was due to internal injuries, unrelated to the fall, and has since changed the ceremony so that Chuck is no longer held aloft.
