ABC News ^

[Blue Turtle]

Authorities are questioning three men after pulling them from a submersible vessel in the East River in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to reports from ABC affiliate WABC.

The men were captured near the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in downtown Brooklyn, near the massive cruise ship the Queen Mary 2, just after 11 a.m.

Amish perhaps?

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

wtf?

[Red in Blue PA]

Something smells fishy....and I’m not talking about the vessel.

[Blue Turtle]

Let me be clear: this is NOT terrorist related (heavey sarcasm)

[Clara Lou]

No names—that bothers me. Where are the names?

[PGalt]

BTTT

[rovenstinez]

JUST what I was thinking, Amish, buggy drivers, speaking Low German, Deutsch, beards, Anabaptists, from Intercourse Pennsylvania and probably planning on blowing something up.

[ml/nj]

Vely intresting.

I'm sure it's not terror related just like they say. It was probably a pre-shabbat joyride by some Hassids from Brooklyn. Happens all the time on nice summer Friday afternoons around here.

No names and/or where they’re from.

[SIDENET]

Reminds me of this thing.

Kind of reminds me of this one:

[HanneyBean]

Nothing to worry about here people. I'm sure Achmed, Hassam and Muhammad were just taking a scenic underwater cruise

[fatima]

Bump for later.

[The Blitherer]

No names and/or where they’re from.

Interesting huh? They can't give us names, origins, motives or anything else for that matter, but they dern sure KNOW it's not terror related.

[SIDENET]

Great minds think alike.

Looks a lot like the Turtle.

[Sacajaweau]

It was in the water and cruising when LE got to it? No one saw them put it in the water? Was it dark or something when they put it in?

[Moleman]

Irish?

[Jim Noble]

Was it dark or something when they put it in?

Probably released from their mother ship.

[johnny7]

Lookit’ all those Allegheny whitefish!

[quack]

I’m guessing prominent,wealthy people, with money to burn on a diving bell.

[BritExPatInFla]

Minutemen have a NYC division?

Easy on the tinfoil hats guys. It could havfe been some geeky college students messing around, who knows. A lot of conjecture going on in this thread.

[expatpat]

In the dirty East River?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Ted Kennedy, the original sub-driver, caught in the act again

I'm going to go against the common thread here and predict no terror link, for real.

I'm betting some wacky "adventurer/thrill seeker" types, or maybe science nerds on a bender.

Just out joyriding next to the largest ocean liner ever built. On a Friday. No I'm sure mo had nothing to do with this one...

[RckyRaCoCo]

In the dirty East River?

Maybe they'll be able to find my uncle Guido.

[Red Badger]

In the dirty East River?

Exactly! How in hell could they see where they were going? Periscope?...........

[A.A. Cunningham]

Make-shift submarine found in East River

[Taffini]

who in their right minds would get into that thing unless they wanted to commit suicide? NAMES PLEASE

I second that emotion. This sounds to me like some idiot college students.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

“No names and/or where they’re from.”

Usually, if the MSM fails to identify the subject by affiliation, it means he’s a Democrat. But that doesn’t mean these guys couldn’t be Democrats AND terrorists.

[Revolting cat!]

Mexicans.

Who know who would have been first, if only you had not typed Kind of!

Very true!!

[stormer]

Shit, I hope not!

Just some foreigners inspecting the bridges Americans won’t inspect.

Nope sorry, it's terrorist related. Has to be. The government has us all on 'interest watch'. What this amounts to is that if anything is doing anything even remotely out of the ordinary, interesting, etc. by default they must be 'terrorists' and reported to the 'proper authorities'. Invention? New ideas? Without alerting the government?!? Are you mad?

I imagine even when it's proven not to be terrorist related beyond all shadow of a doubt (which it isn't), instead of expressing interest at the ingenuity of these three submariners, some will still call for them to be charged with a trumped up charge.

So much for freedom, we'd rather be safe....

[GovernmentShrinker]

Could be drug related. But until their identities and motives have been established, terrorism must remain very much on the table.

College student. Good cover for a terrorist.

[McGruff]

You're sure it's a submarine right?

[Nam Vet]

That little sucker looks like like the "Turtle" from our Revolutionary War. September of 1776.

No names—that bothers me. Where are the names?

Funny , I was JUST out on the Hudson River yesterday on the Circle Line tour around the island. ( an amazing 3 hour tour if anyone ever comes to NYC, lots of history and some pretty scenery on the north end of the island)
We’ll have to wait on this one. I’m always suspicious when they don’t mention names. If they are Islamics they will call them Asians anyway , not to upset anyone.
