UPDATED AT BOTTOM OF POST: Three Men In "Bizarre" Submersible Found Off the Coast Of New York: "Not Terrorism-Related"


Yep, everyone. Don't worry. It's a "bizarre submersible". In other words, we're talking some sort of submarine type of vehicle. And, it was floating near the Queen Mary, but

WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!


New York authorities were questioning three men found in a bizarre submersible vessel floating just off Manhattan on Friday, according to local reports.

The men were discovered early Friday near the cruise terminal in Brooklyn where the massive ocean liner The Queen Mary II is moored, ABC television reported on its website.

When asked about the incident, a police spokeswoman declined to confirm the report or provide any further information, saying only that officers were at the scene.

What the three men were doing in the vessel -- which appeared to be spherical with a circular hatch on top -- was not immediately clear.

According to ABC, there was no indication that the discovery was terror-related -- a constant fear in New York following the September 11 Al-Qaeda attacks on New York.

ABC's radio affiliate WABC reported that the vessel was equipped with oxygen tanks.


Cuz, you know, there are a lot of reasons for three men to be floating near the Queen Mary in a "bizarre submersible".

There are a lot of other explanations for this.

No, really. There are.

They are probably white racist militia members.
UPDATE:
When I fuck up, I could just erase the post, but I don't think that would be right.
Apparently, this was, indeed, not terror-related.
I am sorry, but I am only calling the shots as I see them. I am not perfect. And, that is obvious.

I wouldn't say you screwed up, Pastorius. I have to think the police and everyone who saw this submersible were freaking out, also.

People have been climbing into weird devices since it became popular to go over the Falls at the other end of the state.

But that will NEVER mean that it wasn't possible to be terror-related.
