Heads up Columbus, Ohio Freepers
self and hubby ^ | 9/20/01 | mommadooo3

Reporting some strange traffic 'sights' hubby saw on his way home tonight.

He works in Columbus and was on his way home @ 6:30, traveling I-70.

Heading west on I-70, going towards Columbus, was a semi truck, and it had written 'Special Task Force One' written on the rig. It was being escorted by the escort car, 2 sheriffs, State Highway Patrol, followed up by 2 more sheriffs and another State Highway Patrol.

For @ 20 miles, at each exit, heading East towards Granville/Kirkersville, there were fire trucks sitting with their lights going.

(the direction they were going is towards Columbus International Airport)


TOPICS: Extended News; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS:
LOL... he says 'that's his story and he's stickin' to it'. And asked if anything was happening in the Columbus area.

Any Columbus freepers there, hear of any 'breaking news'? Are they maybe giving the public a 'show of force' or preparedness?

What part of "Loose Lips...." don't people get. Don't report any police/military actions until at least one of the commie news networks lets it out.

Hi mommadooo - Could this be supplies for NY?? A similar caravan left Cleveland earlier in the week.

COULD be. Had heard some talk that there was to be a blood drive. But somehow this just doesn't seem to fit the 'sights'.

We don't get local channels, since we have sat. tv.

I thought that if there was a 'crisis' it'd be reported on. Strange.

My daughter is a student at OSU. She said there was a bomb threat at a school near Bexley and one at Children's Hospital today. Maybe related?

That was our contingent of firefighters that went to NYC. They were just now coming home.

They are an Ohio urban search and rescue group working 12 hour shifts at the WTC.

Thanks for the info!!! It is a relief to know what it was. And that it was NOT a 'crisis'.

Under the circumstances, I can see WHY it was not widely known. But it SURE would have been a blessing to know about it, so we could be there, to show thanks and appreciation to welcome back those 'troops' of compassion and loving service. God bless them all!
