The cam won't load - it must be getting hit a lot right now.

After the recent guy was captured, it's not totally a surprise that this happened. No one works alone.

i remember just after 9/11 people would set their briefcases down as they got their paper or threw somethign away and hysteria would take over. people see others running and take off too.



part of me wants it to be something to justify the fear while part of me wants it to be innocuous and this was all just a fire drill.

I am guessing this sort of thing will be frequently occurring for a while

I only assume so, thats why i posted as welcome back last time. This is going to be an ongoing occurance till either a) someone gets bored, or b) something goes off.

Someone is going to be upset when they find out they lost their lunch.

haha, i just read that it was a cooler left in front of a hotel. nobody takes coolers to hotels.

someone is probably going to stop for gas and tyo grab a drink from their cooler and realize it's missing. they will then hear that times square was evacuated and feel like a complete jackass.

theres no gas stations inside midtown manhattan.

people take coolers to hotels all time. rent a room, get a cooler filled iwth beer and party.

I think time will pass without incident and the hype will again fall back to normal.

I just hope for all that option b doesn't happen, but one of these times those make the beast with two backsers will succeed, unfortunately.

Cooler contained water bottles.
