For a moment there I thought it was those three Iraqi ships that have been sailing around with supposed WMD for some time

MSNBC reporting incidents on Staten Island and also Woodbridge. Not clear to them yet whether it's one incident or two due to haze and smoke. Several refineries and shipping channels in the area.

Well, this will tack another couple of dimes onto the price of gas.

Yep... probably a conspiracy by the big bad oil companies don't you know :)

It will give those wackos in California that were protesting gas prices on the news the other day some more "fuel" for their fire.

Hugh? Vey series!

Can we grow up? That is getting so old and unclever. Yeah, it shows that you're a hip Freeper, but it's really getting old.

I would hope the folks at WABC know the difference between the V. and the outerbridge crossing. The cable networks have an excuse to get mixed up.

man if there was anyone close to that I doubt if the will find any traces left of the body that is a real big fire when you factor in the size of a barge!

This is a Free Republic scoop. It's amazing how fast Freepers hear/see things and get them on the threads. Similar to the shuttle pictures and sightings.

This appears to be a duplicate thread, but you might want to consider saving it....especially since it was FIRST on the scene.
