Is this another payoff to Hollywood for their future movies?

Like the NY flyover?

yeah, smells like pure BS to call this a training exercise.

But, CNN now cites “two police sources” calling it an exercise.

A training exercise on 9/11? This is as stupid as the NYC AF1 joyride flyover.

Now the AP is reporting that the Coast Guard was conducting a training exercise and no shots were fired.

Depends on what this is.

If it turns out to be a Coast Guard training mission poorly conceived to be done on 9-11 and in a highly sensitive area, then it would be a foulup but not cause to shut anything down.

A genuine terrorism attempt, however, would bring out extra security but you cannot Constitutionally stop people from peacefully assembling and petitioning their government.

coast guard firing on boat in domestic waters,

O sure. Happened all the time during Prohibition, and still does with drug interdiction.

Who in the eff would stage this kind of a drill with shots on a day like today??

Like flying an airplane over NYC for a photo-op moment?

That is just NUTS if true.

The same people who allowed Air Force One to flow over lower Manhattan for a photo shoot.

Seems like a dumb place and awful day to hold an exercise...

Anticipating a huge crowd tomorrow for the national tea party; probably trying to get ready. Someone is gonna get demoted.

What form of mental midget would schedule a training exercise on 9-11 around the time TOTUS’ motorcade is traveling across the bridge?
