Just heard on the radio that the bridge was closed twice: once at midnight, the other time at lunchtime. (News said 12:45 to 1:15 pm) However, I noticed the coast guard helicopter hover right out my office window at 12:39 pm.

The radio news said that the coast guard had received a telephone call from a woman who threatened to blow up the bridge. This is slightly at odds from the Portland press Herald that was reporting the threat was over marine channel 16 - the distress channel. As the radio report was just given (4:04 pm) I think its probably more up to date. I suppose its possible that there could have been 2 threats.

No information on the nationality of the woman, but if a phone call was made, I'd imagine that it could be traced fairly easily.

Thanks for that update. Given how the press gets so much wrong, it's entirely possible that both reports are incorrect.

Will check in later...
