Today’s New York City Tabloids

New York City woke up yesterday morning to see that the massive American flags that fly atop each of the towers of the allegedly highly-guarded Brooklyn Bridge had been replaced by white flags. Surveillance footage shows that the flag’s spotlights suddenly winked out around 3am and investigators found that they’d been covered with aluminum tins. Getting to the top of the towers of the allegedly highly-guarded Brooklyn Bridge is no easy feat – one must walk the suspension cables. So far no one has claimed credit for the stunt and officials say the likely culprit is someone with construction or bridgework experience. The white flags turned out to be old bleached American flags. Whatever this stunt is about, I’m with the Daily News, especially after the recent security lapses at One WTC. But as much as I loathe the Post, their headlines rarely fail to amuse.
