They also closed the Tappan Zee bridge, which is a huge expansion bridge over the Hudson River connecting Rockland county, NY to Westchester
county, NY, as well as the north tube of the Holland Tunnel, which runs under the Hudson River connecting Manhattan to New Jersey. A false flag op
occurring at either of these structures would be catastrophic to NY but it is the closing of the Tappan Zee that has peaked my interest and I’ll
explain why.
The TZB was built in the 1950’s as part of the NYS Thruway system. It is one of the longest expansion bridges in the world (9th longest, I believe)
and has been the source of controversy and a great deal of political angst for many years. It was hastily designed and was never intended to last as
long as it has or to handle the volume of traffic it currently does (it is the second most heavily traveled river crossing in all of NY, second only
to the George Washington bridge). It has cost the state millions of dollars in unanticipated upkeep over the years, which has been a necessity to
prevent it from literally falling down.
This is an excerpt from one of hundreds of articles that can be Googled relative to the bridge
(link):
The Tappan Zee was designed to carry fewer than 100,000 cars per day, but routinely handles more than 150,000 now. The bridge was built in the
early 1950s during the Korean War, and a shortage in building materials meant that a sturdier bridge couldn't be built. The George Washington Bridge,
for example, opened in 1931 and was designed to last 150 years.
According to state inspections of the Tappan Zee Bridge, one of the biggest structural issues is the deterioration of the wooden pilings, which are
beams submerged in the Hudson River that hold up the bridge. The pilings have been eroded by the water, expanded and contracted by extreme weather and
chewed into by waterborne worms.
The current estimated cost to tear the bridge down and rebuild it is $16 billion. Many politicians have said that the state just doesn’t have the
money to rebuild it, yet it continues to disintegrate; a virtual time bomb waiting for the unthinkable to happen. The most recent effort to keep the
bridge in tact is called the “Deck Replacement Project” and each week, the New York State Thruway Authority issues a bulletin advising of repair
closings.
This is for the week of
8/22/2011: Work scheduled every night,
Monday through Friday.
This is for the week of
8/29/2011: No work
scheduled for any night – this is in the aftermath of hurricane Irene which occurred on 8/28/2011.
This is for the week of
9/5/2011: No work
scheduled for Monday night (Labor Day) but work resumed on Tuesday through Friday nights.
This is for the week of
9/12/2011: There
is no work scheduled for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, 9/12 - 9/14, but then a supposed resumption of work for Thursday and Friday nights.
So why am I concerned about this particular bridge?
a) Closed for several hours following hurricane Irene;
b) bridge has been falling down for many years and continues to disintegrate;
c) NYS doesn’t have the money to rebuild the bridge which means they would need to keep addressing the problem with Band-Aids, costing many more
millions, until the unthinkable happens, and
d) there has been no work scheduled for the Deck Replacement Project for either 9/12, 9/13 or 9/14.
Now I’m not saying that there is, but
IF there was going to be a terrorist false flag op perpetrated for 9/11 in New York, and
a "target" was to be selected as the proverbial sacrificial lamb, do these factors not give rise to concern?
Of course, this could all just be a bunch of malarkey and we'll wake up on 9/12 breathing a sigh of relief over the latest "anxiety du jour", but
then again...
