For girls who take the bridges into the city or the J M Z train
Original post by WithThisRing
NOT TO ALARM ANYONE BUT THIS IS BREAKING NEWS
They just said now the J M Z are all H e L L
2 guys walked onto the Williamsburge bridge where they are doing construction and the bridge men know each other and knew these guys didnt belong there and the 2 guys left packages near the workers and then shimmed down the bridge. The workers immediatly notified police.
The police stopped traffic in both directions and the trains.
The police have caught 3 men and took them in for questioning.
The police are going to shut down ALL bridges at any moment for searches (that is what was said on Fox 5 news)

Re: For girls who take the bridges into the city or the J M Z train
there are many unanswered questions right now, and a lot of details havent been released.
These facts are coming in, but do not underestimate the words of hearsay.
If someone says they see something, they actually saw and a lot is up to interpratation, but nothing is being taken lightly.
The news is going to be on all day
FDNY, NYPD, bomb squad, and EMT are all on the scene.
Even if there are no public reports of packages being found, what makes this story extraordinary is it was left on a bridge and 3 suspicious middle eastern men left the packages and climbed down the bridge.
(this is all being said on the Fox 5)

Re: For girls who take the bridges into the city or the J M Z train
I took the bus in this am and it was one hellish commute. Took an hour when it normally takes 30 minutes. The Midtown Tunnel was totally backed up and there were cops everywhere. We couldn't figure out why but now this makes sense.
Let's just hope to god that if it was a bomb the boys in blue were able to diffuse it.

Another at-home reporter here!
Don't panic, ladies. I'm hearing now that a couple of drunk guys goofing around decided to climb the W'burg bridge.
They are under arrest and hopefully, will be prosecuted! Idiots!

Fox 5 just gave a huge thank you to the city for its fast acting response
FDNY, NYPD, the harbor squad, the coast guard, EMT rushed to the scene and kept order.
They are now talking about how 3 drunks partied way too much and climbed the bridge.
The J M Z are still shut down and causing extensive delays
The BQE has delays all the way back to the LIE.
The Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge are slowly openeing up and its bumper to bumper.
Local streets are all gridlocked

I love Kai! He is so on top of things. He is always the first to the scene of everything.
OMG Jim Ryan just said this was a prank and it just caused a lot of chaos and costed the city a lot of money.

I also just read this on Newsday web site: Seems it might just be a bunch of drunks.
March 28, 2003, 9:41 AM EST
Police shut down the Williamsburg Bridge this morning after receiving reports of suspicious activity. Authorities were investigating whether alcohol was a factor in the incident.
Two men from Massachusetts and a third from Rhode Island were being questioned at a nearby stationhouse, police said.
The bridge, which connects Manhattan and Brooklyn, was closed in both directions around 8:30 a.m., backing up traffic on both sides.
There were initial reports of packages on the bridge, but none have been found, police said.
Police were checking other bridges, but all others remained open.

Re: For girls who take the bridges into the city or the J M Z train
They just confirmed it was 3 drunks.
They just caused a mass panic and bumper to bumper traffic, gridlock, train delays, etc...
UNBELIEVABLE
I am going on Monday to see the headhunter. I told her this is just nuts. its going to take probably the whole day to get traffic regulated.

Mutha F%$@#ers...
What the h e l l is wrong with people??? Shouldn't everyone be feeling a certain amount of responsibilty in this time of uncertainty and fear, after all that has happened and is happening, can you try NOT to act like a totall a$$ and put the entire friggin city into a panic? And who the hell gets drunk at 8:30 in the morning! I know alcoholics who don't even do that!
