TheNewYorkElevated Posted September 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2014 Well, this one really caught officials scrambling. Yesterday, Bratton, Cuomo, DeBlasio, and Prendergast spent all of Thursday riding the subway as of an effort to reassure the public that they are safe despite the new Iraqi prime minister saying that he has received "accurate" reports from Baghdad that ISIS is planning attacks on the metros of Paris and the U.S. Read more:http://newyork.cbslocal.com/video/10624483-mayor-police-commissioner-address-reports-of-isis-terror-plot/ Oh, if and if you are wondering which lines they rode on, here they are: Cuomo and Prendergast on an R160A to 34th Street-Penn Station. Bratton and DeBlasio on the Lexington Avenue Line (generally on the ) to 14th Street-Union Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted September 26, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 26, 2014 I agree. The only time something happens in this city is if it is allowed to happen. We knew about 9/11 since 1999-2000. What did we do? Nothing. Because we needed an excuse for war. We don't need one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted September 26, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 26, 2014 There will always be a threat in some way shape or form. It's really about how we let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted September 27, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 27, 2014 The police presence was very high on most Manhattan stations. Including holding trains to peek inside cars. I wonder what exactly were they looking for? Your prototypical terrorist carrying highly suspicious bags or equipment wearing a large coat or garb with stuff bulging out? Seems like another ploy to try and calm people down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like another ploy to try and calm people down. Probably just the odd person with a camera out. Be warned, I bet that transit fans will soon be considered the enemy.

Union Tpke Posted September 28, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2014 Probably just the odd person with a camera out. Be warned, I bet that transit fans will soon be considered the enemy. This probably means being really carefull about taking pics in the subway. Don't dare aim the camera at the tunnels for some time, absolutely no flash, and its time to carry out the rules if you haven't been carrying them around.

Grand Concourse Posted October 4, 2014 Share #9 Posted October 4, 2014 Well in the end i guess it was just a false alarm then. Then again i would imagine maybe it was more undercover work and not the big show of force that stopped anything. No coincidence it was when the un held its session... They should just move it to corona park and stop screwing over the whole city especially manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted October 4, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2014 I agree. The only time something happens in this city is if it is allowed to happen. We knew about 9/11 since 1999-2000. What did we do? Nothing. Because we needed an excuse for war. We don't need one now. Pretty much. Their 'reassurances' that there is no terrorist threat isn't news to us because there hasnt been any significant threat to New York since the first millenial decade. Amazing how Cuomo just to save face come the elections took the ISIS agenda oversees and twisted it around into an islamophobic propaganda political scam to scare the shit out of the public into a fear of law enforcement and the military. We have way more domestic problems to worry about here (Rising rate of crime, people falling into poverty, the recent break by Bratton on corruption in the NYPD and so forth). The last thing on my mind is a percieved terrorist threat. I call bullshit big time on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
