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.
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.
I know I feel better now.
