The New York Police Department gave an “all clear” Monday after an unattended, suspicious vehicle prompted authorities to shut the Brooklyn Bridge.

The vehicle was found in the right lane of the Manhattan-bound side of the bridge, mid-span, a police spokesman said.  

Traffic was diverted, as video from CNN affiliate WABC showed police vehicles blocking access.

Video also showed someone in a protective body suit combing through the vehicle. Afterward, an officer wearing no protective gear walked right up to it with a dog.

The SUV had no plates, nor did it have a vehicle identification number, according to Christopher Miller, a spokesman with the New York City Office of Emergency Management.

  1. No VIN number? That’s odd. If a car thief did a tag job wouldn’t they still be able to get the VIN off the block? Does someone build “untraceable” cars?

    1. Remember Jolly Roger, we’re hearing the “official story”. Truth be told, it probably was a stolen vehicle that either broke down or ran out of gas. The cops could have “jazzed up” the terrorist plot by bringing in a SWAT team with a robot to approach the vehicle and strike more fear amongst the sheeples. Maybe they didn’t bother because they know that we’ll call ’em on the bullshit.

  2. With the way that bridge is camera’d up, the swatters would have known what was up. I have a feeling it was a public display of them showing their own self worth & disrupting people’s lives.

  3. F#@k, how stupid do they think we are? Every vehicle has a VIN number! Even if it’s been removed from the typical location there are at least four other places the VIN is stamped to the vehicle. Wolf Blitzer need his ass kicked a few times to get the shit out from between his ears! Plus, what a bunch of sissified pussies! Closing down the whole god damn bridge coz it might be a dangerous terrorist plot! What ever happened to calling the tow truck company and having the damn vehicle impounded for illegal parking? It is at least that and the odds of it being a friggin terrorist bomb are, I’m sure, astronomical.
