A man who claims to have pipe bombs is threatening to jump off the Bay Bridge.

A female got out of the car and said there are five bombs in the vehicle.

All westbound traffic is being stopped at the toll plaza.

How close is the new bridge to being done?

I’m tired of the Amish and their terrorist ways.

What makes you think you can assume that this person is of ANY ethnic group? This sounds more like a suicidal leftist lunatic rather than any terrorist.

I doubt that 5 pipe bombs that are not attached to the bridge will cause significant structural damage.

Odd that they’ve stopped Westbound traffic (top deck) but not the Eastbound (bottom deck). It was the top deck falling onto the bottom deck during the last earthquake that caused Cali to rebuild that section of bridge. If the guy really does have bombs this doesn’t make sense.

Wait a minute...where's Pelosi?

Some angry driver will probably go push him off!

They are in San Fran Sicko, so it could be an environmental terrorist....

[Gabrial]

I find it unreal they are letting the traffic flow on the lower level even though they expect explosives are in the vehicle on the upper level.

[BigCinBigD]

Er, let him jump?

” A man who claims to have pipe bombs is threatening to jump off the Bay Bridge. “

Reminds me of the old George Carlin bit -

“I’m pregnant and I’m going to kill myself!!”..

“Say - you *are* a good sport, arent you??”

(sometimes the synapses just fire randomly - ya never quite know what’s gonna come out... ;))

Man in custody.

Post of the day.

My guess ... Jerry Brown decided he didn't want to be California's next governor after all.

A crack sniper should take care of the situation nicely, quickly, cleanly....well, at least nicely and quickly.
