Anyway, I had an eerie experience on the train this morning. Just as we were entering the Harlem tunnel on the Metro North line, the Emergency Broadcast tone was heard throughout the entire train. I thought it was coming over the train loudspeaker but it was every single cellphone on the train that was making that sound along with the message about the manhunt for that Ahmad Khan Rahami scum. Pretty amazing that millions of people can receive such a message at the same exact time.
Wow. That would be eerie indeed! I think this was a presidential directive or executive order, and not a law though. Sometime around the transition from Bush to Obama. They wanted this ability badly. Stay vigilant FRiend.
I would need to switch to sanka!
“...eerie experience...”
Thank you for sharing this. I have family (daughter and son in law, both lawyers) traveling by train from Brooklyn where they live to mid town to their offices this a.m. and I wonder if they had a similar experience. I have not contacted them at this point but might soon as I am getting nervous at this point.
