NYC - Times Square - May 23 2007 incident? |
Travel Info Does anybody know why the avenues at Times Square were lined with police cars? Many buildings were also lined 3 deep with police officers today. I have searched the news, but there is no mention of it. (today=May 23 2007) Travel Tips The NYPD run security drills every day throughout the city. Times Square and 34th Streets are common places, i.e. once a week or so, but they hold them all over and obviously they don't publish or announce them since that would defeat the point. It is not uncommon to see up to 10 cruisers or ERU SUVs "on parade" or semi-parallel parked. Of course when the president or other dignatary comes to town there will be motorcades but those are announced and take last forever, these drills are usually less than an hour long. My office is on 34th Street near the ESB and they are outside around once a week, mostly with lights but sometimes with sirens too. Others Possible bomb scare? Check out tomorrow's AMNewYork newspaper...I'm sure there will be something in it about the incident. Maybe a movie was being filmed in the area. It happened a few weeks ago also.I go to college in Manhattan and I pass by there every school day.Its for extra security.There are sometimes 3 police officer in each subway station on random days. I'm used to seeing tons of security around Manhattan.Four months ago I saw police officer with huge machines guns and huge German Shepard dogs and they were wearing bulletproof vests.I thought I walked by a movie set I couldn't believe the amount of security.A mouse couldn't crawl into Times Square without the police knowing thats how tight security is in Manhattan on random days.You people before me are dumb.If you don't go to Manhattan on a regular bases you are going to find things that you're not used to seeing.I'm used to it. that happens so often for very small reasons. |
