Why didn't FEMA know about this? Isn't this a waste of tax payer money? Impeach Bush, Impeach Bush, Chaney knew about it all along and kept it a secret. (tongue in cheek)

it shows you how frequent the bridge inspections are - that they just found these.

When they cleaned out the bomb shelter beneath our school back in the seventies, they distributed those crackers - and they were great!
Better than any cracker I've had since.

60 Minutes did a piece on the NYPD CTU on Sunday. They seemed to indicate that divers search the bridges every day.
Of course, that was 60 Minutes, so believe what you like.

NYPD I trust, but the NYC DOT is another story.

I recall reading years ago that civil defense supplies were stored in the bridge pylons. If they asked me, I would have told them.

1962, when the Cuban missile crisis seemed to bring the world to the precipice of nuclear destruction"seemed"
Typical NYT spin. I guess it was just a figment of our fevered imaginations fueled by our "inordinate fear of communism". To quote one of the Slimes favorite Presidents, James Earl "Mr. Peanut" Carter.
Never mind the nuclear weapons already deployed on the Soviet subs we were hassling and which were ordered prepared for firing in at least one case. Never mind the tactical battlefield nukes the Soviets had already deployed, with authorization for their use should the US invade Cuba. All just a figment I guess.

Doesn't this just boggle the mind that this has been unnoticed for decades?

The nuns rounded us up and sent us home early that day.
Everything was strangely quiet, VERY little traffic on the streets as I remember.
My mother was ironing, like she did when she got nervous.
What a time it was.

They find stuff buried since my schooldays, and they treat it like an archaeological find.
