Like the NY flyover?

yeah, smells like pure BS to call this a training exercise.
But, CNN now cites “two police sources” calling it an exercise.

Could it have been a Confederate ship?

A training exercise on 9/11? This is as stupid as the NYC AF1 joyride flyover.

Now the AP is reporting that the Coast Guard was conducting a training exercise and no shots were fired.

Your theory makes a lot of sense
To: SueRae
Depends on what this is.
If it turns out to be a Coast Guard training mission poorly conceived to be done on 9-11 and in a highly sensitive area, then it would be a foulup but not cause to shut anything down.
A genuine terrorism attempt, however, would bring out extra security but you cannot Constitutionally stop people from peacefully assembling and petitioning their government.

Who in the eff would stage this kind of a drill with shots on a day like today??
Like flying an airplane over NYC for a photo-op moment?
That is just NUTS if true.

Seems like a dumb place and awful day to hold an exercise...Anticipating a huge crowd tomorrow for the national tea party; probably trying to get ready. Someone is gonna get demoted.

What form of mental midget would schedule a training exercise on 9-11 around the time TOTUS’ motorcade is traveling across the bridge?
