"Could be nothing but a training exercise."Could just be four guys who missed the airport shuttle.

A night jump onto the top of a building?
I tend to think this is a false report,
but if true ...
From WHAT airplane?
The whole BOS area is under a very strict TFR
(Temporary Flight Restriction). I would have
expected major action on the penetration.

Probably just a roadblock leg from The Amazing Race.

Speaking of the Swifties......I came across a bit of information that James Rassman, the green beret lieutenant that Kerry apparently rescued was born in 1948, and rescued ("rescued?") in January of 1969. How many 20-year-old 1st Looie green berets were there? I mean, is it possible that somebody could join out of high school and get through basic, AIT, OCS, jump school, the Q-course, and get over to Vietnam in less than 30 months? I didn't get drafted 'til 1971, and at that time, I don't think this could have been possible.

IMO, it's too risky for a drill of any kind.

I would have no idea. I have heard of medal inflation and maybe there was rank inflation.... ?

Hey, you aren't kidding. There was a picture with him holding K2 Axis X skis up at Sun Valley. I am hoping they were rentals. If not I am going to have to get new skis.

Drudge originally said he was going to wait for wire copy, but put it up quick anyway. I just copied to here and asked for updates from FR readers. Anything on Boston radio/tv??

Tempting to chalk it up to a false report at this point.
To: Boundless
Never been to BOS or seen the building skyline. If this story is accurate, could they have jumped from another building? Some extreme skydivers parachute by jumping off buildings, but not usually at night. Very risky for a protest or even a drill.

It's probably a crew from St. Elizabeth's attempting to put TaRaaza in a Straight Jacket

Maybe those are two separate headlines.
This one is the breaking news:
> Four parachutists said to have landed on Tip O'Neill
And this is a factoid:
> Federal Building next door to Fleet Center in Boston.

"IMO, it's too risky for a drill of any kind." I agree. So...who was it and what are they doing? It's not a drill, IMO. (Probably didn't happen.)

I'm sure our guys could practice on any similar building so I can't see the value of this as a "practice".

is that the federal building. No other tall buildings in the area? So they did not jump from another building
