Three Men Arrested Approachig Queen Mary II In New York Harbor In... Primitive Submarine?
They say it's not terror related. Or not believed to be terror related yet.
Indeed, it's so odd it's... well, it's just so goofy it's hard to believe it's terror related.
But approaching a major cruise ship (which are often targets of terrorist plots) in NY harbor? In a sub?
TNR just sent me an email that the men are all Iraqi veterans who were compelled to kill civilians, having gotten addicted to it during their tours of duty.
In the shit, you either die inside or your die outside (sharpens commando knife menacingly).
Video: Here.
Thanks to dri.
Interesting:
It was equipped with oxygen tanks, WABC reported.
Okay, "oxygen tanks" could just mean tanks of air for the vessel itself.
It could also mean scuba tanks.
Why the hell would anyone have need of scuba diving in the filthy, nearly-lifeless black-as-hell NYC harbor?
Seems Nothing: Looks like some, uhh, amateur historical submarine enthusiasts (who knew?) were just testing the seaworthiness of their craft.
