5. Olberman will have to add this to the Nexus of Terror

I knew it was coming. When he said on his show last night that a negative Iraq progress report was coming out on Thursday, I knew were in for a few days of terror.

6. Terror!! Terror!!!

Michael Moore coming.

I just won't give them a rating point. I'll wait until someone posts the video.

We're a Nielson family.

10. As I'm in Manhattan right now

I can't be as flippant as some of the people here. Was this called in or did someone see something?

[C_U_L8R]

11. How many bogus bomb scares are they gonna throw at us???

this is just pathetic...
the stank of republican desperation is in the air

(i'm in Manhattan too... and I call BS)

[MonkeyFunk]

17. Why is this bogus?

it was a backpack that somebody left behind. Do you think Bush was behind this? Why? So CNN would give it the 2 minutes it got?

[HeraldSquare212]

13. Manhattan also

I'm in Manhattan, too, and also call BS. I can see fire trucks up at 42nd and Broadway, looks like they're blocking off 42nd from car traffic. Kelly, our police commissioner, is as much a fan of the terror scare as anyone else is.

14. A red backpak left behind my someone who now claims it. Left it behind

by mistake.

[HeraldSquare212]

15. That hardly ever happens...

...so you can understand why they shut the place down. I guess in about 10 minutes we'll see the whole thing repeated, where? Central Park? Grand Central Station? Take your pick.

[leftynyc]

18. Hope it's not Grand Central

I head there in a few minutes. Although I must point out I can't remember the last time a bomb scare closed anything down here in Manhattan. I have to admit if I saw a backpack that didn't seem to belong to anyone, I'd probably tell a cop.
