Stay safe and have a good day.
In the office now. I’m on Lexington Avenue a few blocks north of Grand Central and the streets were full of police cars. Almost total gridlock here. The UN Assembly is just a few blocks to my east and all the dignitaries/ambassadors from all over the world are in town. Several motorcades leaving the Waldorf-Astoria. One of them was almost Trump-sized! I wonder if Trump himself will make an appearance before heading to Florida later today.
I might go back to Grand Central and take a video later but had to get to the office quick for a meeting. Definitely some stepped up security there but nothing too crazy. About a dozen miltary people in fatigues, some K-9 dogs sniffing things out.
Just before heading into the Harlem tunnel, we got an emergency alert over our cellphones about the manhunt for Ahmad Khan Rahami. It was a little surreal. All of a sudden the train was filled with the EBS tone but it wasn’t over the loudspeaker. It was everybody’s cellphone going off at the same time.
