Just got on, freeperfromnj.
I guess it's sensitive information, but here goes, anyway:
Any heads up we can get may help.
I'm in CT- mom needed surgery yesterday. She is 81- and doing well!
My son called from Gettysburg area- the GWEN tower had returned back to normal (white strobe light)
Last night (5/19), the light was back to flashing red.
Would a test be conducted so soon? I don't think so. I think they tested it last week to make sure it worked, and turned it on yesterday as a backup communication system in case the milstar/gps based systems fail.
Other information- there are some 40 stolen semis. The truckers are being told to watch for sabotage- if they are carrying hazardous materials- to try to signal to another truck driver to pull ahead of them if they sense danger. The plan calls for a truck hauling something innocuous like veggies to pull in front, protecting the hazmat truck.
If no other truck is available, the driver is to ram the car attempting the sabotage- even if the drivers are females with children.
I have alot more information to report. Including observing a "cooler" being removed from the sidewalk in front of a nice highrise in Philly- Center City- by fire department personnel. No fire alarm and no evacuation of the building. other vehicles present at the scene- including one never seen before- like a very low, cement colored vehicle, with a series of small square windows along the sides-
I hope I have gone totally over the edge. Please pass the valium and I'll add a cold beer.
God help us all. I do believe- if you can- get OUT of the target cities if at all possible.
Also- I do think, Philly is the first city to be hit- after London.
Reasons- very numerous- including location, symbolic value, departure of Muslims, statements on the jihadi boards that the "Liberty Bell will melt"....and more.
You are a ray of sunshine today. Thanks for the heads up. Can't leave target area for another year when my youngest finishes high school -- Then I'm headed to Texas (if I could convince my husband).

Can you give us the background information for this? Is this inside info, anywhere to confirm?
All4one.....ping to Philadelphia story on 911 failure.
The low cement colored vehicle, a bomb disposal vehicle?
This is the second time this week that a tanker has crashed on I-70 in the Kansas City metro area. On the radio, it was reported that five or six vehicles in addition to the tanker were on fire. The police said that the tanker carried corrosive material that could cause severe respiratory distress or death in this article:

This article has a driver's statement that makes the actual accident sound suspicious:

snip, "I looked in my rearview mirror and saw trucks and automobiles going every which way. Then, all of a sudden, one struck me in the rear end. It was a mess, that's what it was," Welch said.
