Homemade sub at Red Hook

[Cornus]

Just saw this on the noon NYC ABC news live report: three men trying to launch a homemade submarine were arrested. The sub looked really primitive. The live shot from the helicopter showed what looked like a giant floating gourd. It then pulled back a bit and the front of the QM2 was clearly visible, so they were attempting to launch this sub just a few feet from the ship.

 

They just showed another shot with the NYC harbor police boarding the sub. It was mentioned that they didn't think it was terrorist related.

What they say not to scare people and what is reality may be very different.

Just looked at the webcam and there are about 4 small harbor type boats in front of her bow...looks like someone's taking it seriously.....fine with me!

It looks like our "revolutionary artist" friend Duke may have picked the wrong day to take the floating squash out for a spin. Glad NYPD and USCG were paying attention. Glad everything turned out OK and no body got hurt.
