Suspicious packages found around Boston.

I was flipping through the channels to watch Tyra and this was on instead. Apparently several packages were found around Boston near bridges. Retarded people FTL!

Has anyone been watching the updates? Last I saw they had found 7 packages.

(AP) Five suspicious packages planted near bridges and other spots around Boston forced the shutdown of major roads, a bridge and a stretch of the Charles River on Wednesday before authorities concluded the objects were not bombs.

"It's a hoax � and it's not funny," said Gov. Deval Patrick.

Police said four calls, all around 1 p.m., reported suspicious devices at the Boston University Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge, which both span the Charles River, at a Boston street corner and at the Tufts-New England Medical Center.

The package near the Boston University bridge was found attached to a structure beneath the span, where it crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike highway, authorities said.

Subway service across the Longfellow Bridge between Boston and Cambridge was briefly suspended, and Storrow Drive was closed as well.

Another device was found earlier in the day at a subway station, forcing a temporary shutdown of Interstate 93.

Where are you guys seeing updates? This is relevant to my interests.

Posted by Frenchie on Jan-31-2007 21:46:

I think CBS has live video feed. I'm sure it might be interrupting your TV shows as well. It interrupted my TV shows.

hahaha.

turner broadcasting released a statement saying they actually are a promotion and that they're in several cities.

apparently the ones in boston have been there for 2-3 weeks.

i'll try to find the article but cnn just showed it.

can't believe this was an actual promotion though.

Turner Broadcasting acknowledged late this afternoon that the suspicious packages that ignited fears of bombs across Boston today were magnetic lights that were part of an outdoor marketing campaign for an adult cartoon.

Turner was promoting Adult Swim's animated television show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" in Boston and nine other cities, according to a statement e-mailed by Shirley Powell, a company spokeswoman.

"Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards," the state an e-mail statement said. "We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."
