Yesterday morning, two Bangladeshi brothers jumped off a freighter ship that was leaving the Port of Newark, "somewhere between the Kill van Kull and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge." One brother was found, while the other is still missing.
Authorities say that 27-year-old Mohammed Nayem Uddin was found by fishermen on Hoffman Island, "shivering and covered in garbage bags." The Staten Island Advance reports he was taken to the hospital for hypothermia-like conditions. Uddin did not cooperate with the police, who tried to communicate with him through a translator. His 21-year-old brother Mohammed Bakhtier Uddin is still missing. The Coast Guard, NYPD, and FDNY canvased the area between the Kill van Kull and Ambrose Channel.
The police aren't sure why the Uddins jumped off the ship, a 797-foot freighter named the Manhattan Bridge. Their passports were found on the ship; immigration officials have not commented.

Hasn't there been some concern about people trying to sneak weapons or themselves into the states for the purpose of attacks using cargo ships just like this..?
is there a time stamp on when the item was posted to compare with the time stamp on the first comment? cuz i'd like to see JUST HOW FAST the bedwetting began...
Ha Bedwetting..That's really fuckin funny.
I was just making a point, I wasn’t trying to be alarmist
Hey #2, better to turn a blind eye now and then criticize when something happens!
BANGLADESHI not BENGLADESHI
please, fix? thanks!!
Two guys named Mohammed jump ship, and leave their passports behind, then won't cooperate with the police..?
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me
Yeah, Bengals are the tigets. Gothamist. Sigh.
tigers, rather.
the whole thing is sad, and the whole thing sucks.
My father was attacked by a tiget, but he killed it with his dagget.
How soon until the terrorist attack happens, and Osama releases their "martyrdom" video bragging about how many "infidels" he's going to kill?
They should send his illegal ass straight to guantanamo, and force some information out of him.
how about this: all of you who hear the word 'muslim' and get yer pants filled with brown liquid LEAVE new york so them thar islame-o-factsits don't kill you.
i bet my rent goes down.
Two Bengal Tigers lept off a ship - anyone else reminded of "Life of Pi"???
Geez, guys, they probably just hated their jobs. I want to jump out of a window myself, they just happened to have water beneath.
Come on. The ship was named the Manhattan Bridge. Wasn't the Manhattan Bridge once a destination for jumpers? At least that's what they said in the Steve Martin movie, "The Lonely Guy."
