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.

A well-placed U.S. military official told CNN on Thursday that the same intelligence also led to a raid against suspected al Qaeda operatives in Iraq.
No arrests have been made in Manhattan, but operations continue outside the city, Kelly said, without mentioning where.
And Bloomberg said that officials "do not have any reason to believe" that any of the plotters "are in New York at this point in time"
The highly classified operation involving the U.S. intelligence community and the U.S. military was carried out against suspected al Qaeda operatives south of Baghdad, CNN has learned from a well-placed U.S. military official.
"Significant intelligence was also gathered in this raid, along with al Qaeda operatives who were rounded up," CNN's Jamie McIntyre reported, citing the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Few other details were provided about the raid, which occurred in the town of Musayyib, in the lawless area nicknamed "The Triangle of Death." But the official said the raid was the result of the same intelligence about the threat to New York's subway system.
