Turkish Vessel Being Escorted off Delaware (Bomb Threat)

FoxNEWS

Breaking on Fox... Turkish Vessel being escorted by Coast Guard. It had apparently been watched before the threat was relayed.

NO the dragon with the flag on contains the brew which is true!

[night reader]

Where is eyewitness news when you need it? Need a copter over the ship.

Nah! We need that ship far enough off the coast that it's beyond copter range!

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Beginning today, the Coast Guard is boarding EVERY ship of foreign flag. Its about time.

[gathersnomoss]

And there certainly aren't any volatile fuel tanks on that river.

[ThirdMate]

There is not much feinting and dodging to do at 12 to 14 knots!

[gathersnomoss]

A bastard and his enablers. I feel so secure.

[Southack]

LOL!

I always thought it was the "chalace with the palace had the brew that was true" OR was it " the one without the parsley is the one without the poison" (classic Danny Kay)

Found it:
Special Bulletin

[gathersnomoss]

Things are happening fast and furious. Stay safe.

"Any more info on how this is handled? Do they just bring one American on board and then let him pilot the thing into the port? I'm thinking a small group of terrorists could easily overpower one guy...might make more sense to send a small team of armed guards to accompany the pilot, eh?"

That is happening more often, it is called the Sea Marshall program, an armed party boards with the pilot and accompanies the ship into port.

Also the Pilot is in continuous radio contact once he boards.

[Velveeta]

Bump. Found you, thanks.

[gathersnomoss]

Nothing to see here. Let's all chuckle with BJ. Whoopee, were all going to die.

[CindyDawg]

I hope all of this isn't a diversion for somewhere else

[AngryJawa]

The Coast Guard confirmed to NBC News that it is waiting for bomb-sniffing dogs to begin the search and said they have no independent information that any explosive device is on board.

Hopefully, our handlers have trained their dogs to pee on command - right on this Captain's rack.

Good doggie!

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Anyone know the ships name?

[js1138]

Bret on FoxNewsjust said that the captain says he was joking earlier.

No soup for you!

[Sacajaweau]

1st Mate?

That was my first thought actually...

AQ has a long history of using diversions. Whether this turns out to be a hoax or not, it has shown that the feds are concerned that there is a ship out there with something bad on it destined for the US. I would guess we will start hearing more stories like this in the near future.

[gathersnomoss]

Thank you. Now everyone, back away from the ship and give it easy passage. Bizzaro!
