Those boats in the water today—it's the Coast Guard! "The U.S. Coast Guard will be conducting exercises in the East River, Hudson River, and New York Harbor between 9 AM and 3 PM on Tuesday 9/15/09. Expect additional Coast Guard vessel activity in these areas." Just be glad for the warning—DC didn't get one and CNN, after overhearing on the radio the words "you will be fired upon" and "bang bang bang," decided that shots were fired on the Potomac, started a Friday kerfuffle when it was just a training exercise the Coast Guard didn't disclose to the public (and apparently the news media).

Cool :-)
BTW I am still a little confused - the reporting of what CNN heard is consistent and I have been wondering if CNN actually heard the words "bang bang bang" or they heard shots fired (blanks of course) I would find it incredible if they reported this from hearing "bang bang bang" lol
That is actually what happened. A CNN reporter heard someone on the radio say the words "bang bang bang" which they presumed to mean "shots fired."
Yes, it was a verbal "bang bang bang"

Thank you both for clearing that up for me - I suppose I just could not find myself to believe it to be true. Have a great night!
yeah, the only problem is the coasties do this every.fucking.day in DC. the actual problem was some stupid ignorant wannabe hero with a police scanner.
