STROUDSBURG, Pa. - The Monroe County district attorney says a man on a terrorism watch list was discovered taking photos of the Interstate 80 bridge crossing the Delaware River.
District Attorney E. David Christine tells The Morning Call of Allentown that police talked with the man Monday, but didn't detain him. Christine says the man told police he was taking pictures for fun while on vacation. Christine says authorities didn't learn that the man was on the FBI watch list until later.
The man's name wasn't immediately released.
The man was taking pictures from the New Jersey side of the bridge.
good find! Thanks!
Seems like they’ve got it assways backwards. (Pardon my French!)
I’ve crossed that bridge a hundred times, but never saw it from that angle. Yikes! It doesn’t look very sturdy, and it’s almost 50 years old. I have to go to a wedding next month in New York. This has me thinking I’d
better take the Turnpike.
This article states that he did have a camera.
