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

I think someone deliberately called in a fale report to cause a disruption. Sort of like a high school bomb threat.

[Jasper]

Hmmm...interesting.

Looks like 'ol Drudge removed the story from his website.

THIS is the only terror I'm seeing:

[ClancyJ]

Guess it is phony. (Or - tinfoil here - they were told to shut up and quit ruining their emergency operation). If it was something, they sure as heck would not want the police and Drudge blabbing about it as they are trying a secret drop.

Media chow time. Feed people anything to divert them from the Girlie-man pitch and Theresa's "shove it".

Its OFF HIS WEBSITE NOW!!!!!!

[CedarDave]

If confirmation doesn't happen soon, I'll ask Admin Moderator to keep the thread but nuke the headline.

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?

Just dump some WMD into the HVAC units. Everyone would be dead a few minutes later.

It was reported on our local TV news here in Seattle. They said that there were reports of parachutists jumping in Boston and how the authorities were looking for 4 people.

But that was about an hour ago. Maybe they found out it was secret service.

[Jasper]

Yup, maybe a false report.

Someone just thought they saw it.(grin)

[JustPiper]

Maybe they found out it was secret service

Or not...

[GeronL]

He pulled it. Either false alarm or media blackout.

[budman_2001]

Anything new on the scanner?

[JustPiper]

Hope it was a false alarm but it could very well be blackout ~sigh

Here's a pic of the duo the cops caught tandem-skydiving into the restricted zone.

Speaking of parachutes... An airplane was about to crash. There were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said, "I am Kobe Bryant, the best NBA's basketball player; the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die." So he took the first pack and left the plane. The second passenger, Hillary Clinton said, "I am the wife of the former U.S President, a Senator from New York, and a potential future president. And I am the smartest woman in American history, so America's people don't want me to die." She took the second pack and jumped out of the plane. The third passenger, John Kerry, said, "I am going to be my party's nominee for President. The country needs me." So he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped. The fourth passenger, President George W. Bush, said to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, "I have lived a full life, and served my country well, so please take the last parachute." The girl said, "Oh thank you, but there's a parachute left for you also. America's smartest woman took my school backpack."

Dunno. Checked some media outlets. Nothing on it. I came on to this thread after the "Drudge sighting".

[RightthinkinAmerican]

The REAL ambiguously gay duo!
