(New York- WABC, August 3, 2007) - Several people are being questioned by police after being stopped apparently attempting to set sail off Brooklyn in a makeshift submarine-type vessel.

Police say the men were caught in the area of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Downtown Brooklyn, near the Queen Mary 2, just after 11 a.m. this morning

No threatening devices or materials were found on board the vessel.

The initial indication is this is not terrorism related.

They say it's not "terrorism related," but...possible dry run?

possible dry run

Not very likely in a submarine.

Was it a yellow submarine?

Was there a koran and prayer rugs aboard?

If they’d disclose the men’s names, I could tell you if it was terrorism-related or not.

The giveaway was that it is powered by camel dung.

They were bridge inspectors, no doubt.

We should definately punish our technically-minded and adventurous people. Don’t they know that this sort of foolishness needs to be outsourced?

Now since when is it illegal to have your own submarine?

I'm guessing just some hobby effort by your run of the mill weirdo.

...in a makeshift submarine-type vessel...

So if it sinks, does that mean it worked...or...

I’m thinking some treasure hunting mooks from Queens.

If they were muzzlims, I don’t think they would be launching at lunch time along a heavily traveled dock.

I believe it was the Instapundit site that had some private submarine links up not to long ago.

Seems to be coming a popular thing. I'll bet he has something on this before the day is out.
