Bus Catches Fire Inside Brooklyn Battery Tunnel
Tunnel Closed Brooklyn-Bound
(New York - WABC, October 6, 2005) - A bus caught fire inside the Brooklyn Battery tunnel Thursday night about 250 feet north of the Brooklyn exit.

Civilians exited on foot out of the tunnel and according to officials there were multiple injuries, though none of them serious. Three patients were being treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
According to authorities, the bus had overheated which caused the smoke condition. The bus was cleared of any potential suspicious packages and was in the process of being removed from the tunnel.

The tunnel is shut down Brooklyn-bound only at this time.


According to officials this is an accident and there is no suspicious activity involved.

Again, there is no indication that this is in any way related to the subway terror threat Mayor Bloomberg revealed earlier today.

We'll have more on this fire as we get more information and we'll have a complete wrap up on Eyewitness News at 11:00 p.m.
