Since cellphones are triggering devices for bombs it would make sense to shut down service in the vicinity of an airport if there was a suspected threat.

I dunno. Maybe he call the cell phone company and they told him that there was an outage and that they knew the reason for it. Ya think?

a major outage of cellular phone service in the borough of Queens

maybe done intenionally to stop the bad guys from using cell phones to detonate something?

Maybe this was done to prevent terrorists from setting off IEDs using cell phones. Just a thought.

Having read of the potential, alternate uses of cell phones, I'd think if there is anything to this other than equipment failure, it's our guys that shut it down. What makes me think this is the reported cell phone outage that occurred during the football game at OU, when the guy blew himself up outside the stadium.

I'm not from, nor am I in the least bit familiar with NYC. From a terrorist's perspective what in Queens is worth blowing up?

This is quite possibly on-purpose to help thwart some terrorist activity or another.

Maybe everyone stopped paying their cell bills thinking the end was near?

"It has nothing to do with anything else"... How does this police spokesman KNOW that???????

As others have pointed out, he might have info from the phone company that's not been made available to us.

However, statements like that do remind me of an FBI announcement I heard on WABC radio on 9/11/01, minutes after the second plane hit the World Trade Center:
"The FBI has determined that this is not a terrorist attack."

Is it possible the Feds took the towers offline to avert an attack using cellphones at those airports? /tinfoil

Does anyone know when the terrorists had planned to board those planes in the UK? Would it be about now?
