We've received multiple reports that the Port Authority Bus Terminal is currently "on lock down" because of a suspicious package. A reader tells us there are "cops with M4s, and people being evacuated." Another reports "limited access from the subway level." We'll keep you posted as the situation develops. Update: The emergency response team is "already out of the area," according to one witness.
UPDATE 2: The cause of all this inconvenience? A couple of stereo speakers bundled together near the subway platforms that serve the A, C and E subway lines. Port Authority spokesman John Kelly tells City Room the speakers appeared to have been forgotten by a traveler. Because of that oopsy, the south wing of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and many outgoing travelers were unable to depart. The building was reopened at 10:20 a.m., but not after a police officer told one commuter that bus service would be suspended "indefinitely."

I was just on a bus that had to be rerouted. Emergency personal are actually still showing up.
Better safe than sorry.
Hope it's not another "Art Project"...
Overheard firefighters talking about a "suitcase with wires".
blowing up the port authority might not be a bad thing (well, after its been evacuated, of course). its so gross/sketchy and in need of serious repair. a nice new one would be great!
Apparently, they were stereo speakers that were left behind by a passenger.
Because nothing suspicious has ever appeared at the PABT.
More importantly, what happened to the Ralph Kramden statue at the front entrance?
It was still there the last time I walked by it a couple weeks ago.
