Report: Parachutists land on Boston Federal Building

Four parachutists said to have landed on Tip O'Neill Federal Building next door to Fleet Center in Boston. SWAT teams on the way... Developing... Drudge

[smoothsailing]

My best buddy in Nam jumped with the Golden Knights.

He would have never jumped on Tip O'Neill.

He would have just said flat out, "Boston Sucks and I ain't doin' it"

But that was then.

[chuckles]

I'm kinda black or white on this! If they ain't cops, they should be dead.

I thought we had tight security. Just think what a plane could carry into downtown. Think what 4 guys could carry to a rooftop next to the center. 400 lbs of C4? a couple of '50's with plenty ammo? few RPG's maybe? This is rediculous if they aren't cops. If they are, couldn't they take the stairs?

[CedarDave]

Drudge has taken down the headline!!!
Tinfoil hat time???

[The Chief]

Drudge no longer has this up on his site...

False alarm?

[JustPiper]

There should be! Do you have the link to drudge on this?

[Riley]

That tells us that something actually is up, that it involves the roof of the building, and it isn't the good guys.

Commie protest stunt is my guess.

[bonfire]

So do I make coffee and stay up, or what? :)

[JustPiper]

Did you post it on tM I hope?

[BagCamAddict]

Our guys found documents in Afghanistan regarding flying hot air balloons.

[AVNevis]

It is still up on my Drudge Report

[GVnana]

I just logged onto Drudge and there's nothing about it. Pulled?

[afraid]

refresh

Sandt Berger with another pant-load for Clinton.

Speculation:

1. You're right [military HALO] and they were not supposed to be seen by anyone. Why?

2. It's leftist wackos...most aren't that skilled.

3. Terrorists trying to infiltrate hard zone from the building. Alarms? Lots of two way locks getting out!?

4. False report.

My guess...four is most likely. But then again I like to play craps, not slots, which makes me a conservative gambler.

[BurbankKarl]

Nah, I wouldn't stay up...

they had another unit checking some apartment complex...I guess they had a lot of calls about parachutes

[JustPiper]

I couldn't fins it, so its either special ops or kept hidden from the public, did Drudge jumpt the gun again?

[spycatcher]

False alarm. It was just John Kerry with another unscheduled macho photo op.

[CedarDave]

What's the consensus here? A false report or Drudge asked to kill it for now (or thought better of it himself??)

[bonfire]

Stay tuned to your radio...I'm gonna give this another ten minutes.

It's times like this when I tend to refresh with the right-click button and open it in a new window.
