5 Empty Suitcases Found In NYC In 5 Different Locations/Also Missing Fuel Tanker Truck
FOX NEWS | 5-2-04 | my favorite headache

Posted on 05/02/2004 10:37:29 AM PDT by My Favorite Headache

I have waited and looked around and did not see this posted. NYPD and the FBI have found 5 empty identical suitcases in 5 different locations around NYC. Subway station, Penn Station, 2 government buildings and a sidewalk.

Also missing is a huge fuel tanker truck out of New Jersey that has vanished and was full.

This story was mentioned in the last hour...anyone catch it? The Fed's are thinking this might be a test run for terrorists to see what the response time would be to suitcases being left and found in a location ala Spain attacks. They also fear the gas tanker might be used to ram a building with explosives and level it.

Absolutely. Lord I agree in prayer with Annie that the weapons fashioned by the terrorists against us will fail. In Jesus' name; Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. Amen.

Wonder how many suitcases walked off with people who just--you know, 'Hey, free suitcase.'

This is worrisome but NOT SURPRISING AT ALL.

I'm getting popups offering me giftcards to answer the question "SHOULD WE PULL OUT OF IRAQ?"

I don't click of course, but I'm noting that the question is becoming common. People didn't understand 9/11 and still don't. They will blame the next incident on President Bush. Stupid, but they've been trained well in how to be stupid.

"well, we can only imagine if this truck were rammed into ..."

Why not post your anti- postulates on greenpeace.com?

The plants are all very well protected against this type of event, including concrete barriers, buildings with re-inforced concrete a few feet thick, and a contingent of approximately 200 (at each plant) well armed and regularly trained men and women.

We've been for awhile on TM about the missing tanker and also one of our Cb folks heard a disturbing report about a week ago regarding 4-5 trucks travelling on the coast making odd stops at rest stops carrying metal boxes out with them each time, for all daily terror info:

TERROR BY TANKER

By MICHELLE MALKIN

May 2, 2004 -- SOMEONE made a 44-foot gasoline tanker disappear from a South Jersey parking lot earlier this month. And it wasn't magician David Copperfield.

According to the FBI and a New Jersey state coun- terterrorism team, the stolen vehicle (New Jersey license plates: T852SC) can hold 9,200 gallons of fuel. It was empty when it vanished from the TK Transport Terminal in Pennsauken, N.J., around April 8. The state counterterrorism office informed me this week that they have "nothing new to report" on the case.

I would want to know where they were bought. Purchased at the same time? By the same person?

I heard that the tanker was empty...weeks ago...can you cite your source of the tanker being full?

An empty can of gasoline has more "explosive" power than a full one...it is the FUMES that have the "flash point" not the liquid...

playing a prank...probably those "Seattle types"...I hope who ever did it...is treated like a terrorist...even tho they are empty...it is a waste of resources, money and nerves to respond to "terrorist's pranks"...
