Someone wondered on Twitter, "Brooklyn Bridge closed to pedestrian and cycle traffic; cops refuse to say why. Why?" Well, it's also closed to vehicular traffic in both directions—apparently there are two suspicious packages, one in each direction!

Breaking on CNN as well...

This is just too easy for those who would disrupt our lives.

I’m surprised these things aren’t happening even more.

They will. When we start ignoring the suspicious packages, well...

[melancholy]

Absolutely.

Suspicious Packages?

Isn't that the name of the new gay bar across the street from the Ground Zero Mosque?

MYFOXNY.COM - Vehicles and pedestrians are not being allowed on the Brooklyn Bridge due to a police investigation.

The Associated Press reports police received a call about a suspicious package at 9:38 a.m.

The caller told police a flashlight with copper wiring was on the pedestrian walkway, according to the AP.

Police are on the scene.

Traffic is being diverted to the Manhattan Bridge.

It should be!

Per Fox, NYPD just declared “all clear”.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Death by a 1000 cuts.

Place harmless packages near various transportation hubs, energy facilities or places of business thereby distributing commerce as much as possible.

Watch the great satan run around in circles trying to catch his tail while spending vast amounts of resources in panic mode.

JMO...

[COBOL2Java]

Probably a shipment of these. Very dangerous!

[cripplecreek]

Bet that makes a mess of traffic.

[AU72]

Dry runs, malicious pranks, who knows, but I have the feeling that under the surface there are things going on are causing a lot of sleepless nights for those who care.

[Abathar]

Probably one of these.

[Vendome]

Nope.

The new gay bar, across from the Ground Zero Mosque, is going to be called “Bottoms Up”.

[SkyShot]

No.

The gay bar is to be called “Man Hole”.

LOL

Thing is, here in San Francisco there really is a bar called the Bottoms Up and I just assumed they would franchise.
