Thats a parody twitter account, its not true. Unbelievable that it was reported on the news. Just another example of news outlets trying to be the first to break a story without doing any fact checking first.

White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
This just creeps me out as normally things don't. I feel like someone is maybe testing to see how the security is or isn't. I just don't understand how no one saw someone up there at all?? Day or not there are always people out in the city

I don't think it means surrender. I think it means peace. It doesn't creep me out. I am taking it as a lovely sign to all. I assume inspired by the plane and the conflict in the Middle East.

I would think if terrorists were checking security they wouldn't leave a clue to let us know they were there

Re: White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
This was very planned out. I saw a press conference that said a group of approx. 5 people were seen about 3am walking on the bridge. AT approx. 3:20 the lights on Brooklyn side (I believe) flickered and went out. At approx. 3:40 lights flickered and went out on Manhattan side. Construction workers noticed the changed flags at approx. 5:30am. The security gates were still locked and aluminum pans were zip tied on the lights to make them dark. They are reviewing videos from the bridge. This is down right scary.

Re: White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
this whole thing is scary to me, whether it was to show peace, an artist making a statement or someone sending a message the fact is someone or some group was able to get to the top of the brooklyn bridge in two different spots and disrespect our flag, where is the security, whether intended for good or bad it shows a message right now that anyone could do this, and that to me is scary
eta it also really bothers me that our flag was disrespected, if meant for peace then just put up a white flag, dont ruin our flag

Re: White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
I watch too many movies bc my first thought after hearing about the lights and the group of 5 people is someone paid off the security or it was someone who works there.

ITA! The fact that white was painted over the American flag, IMO, is a message that someone thinks America is weak/should surrender (to what/whom Idk)...this could be implying any number of issues in the country or the world. But I absolutely think it was meant as an insult.
ETA: and the fact that they were able to pull it off further proves their point if showing our weakness was their intention.

That is what I have been thinking too. Either someone that works there or someone who knows someone who works there. Very creepy either way.

Re: White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
This is inexcusable. This is supposed to be one of the most guarded landmarks. How guarded could it be if someone was able to get on top of the bridge and do that. As far as im concerned, if someone can get away with that they can get away with anything. Its sad to say, but you truly are not safe anywhere.
Now as far as what it means......i dont know. I do think if you paint over an american flag, you can have much respect for the country.

Honestly this doesn't even surprise me.
Look at the kid and all the jumpers that got to the top of One World Trade Center. If that isn't secured...nothing is
Scary Yes. Surprising No.

Re: White flags flying from Brooklyn Bridge, cops probe breach
I can't imagine that someone/numerous people could get up there and have time to paint over our flag and not be seen! That had to take at least a few minutes! That is very scary.

I don't think it was painted up there. I think they replaced the flags with painted ones.

Yea, I'm an idiot lol. You are probably right. I was thinking it was the one up there already and they spray painted over it or something like that.

No, it was not someone who worked there. My husband actually works on the bridge at night (and was last night) but currently they are working under the bridge. He heard it like everyone else, from the news. There is not private security, just NYPD stationed at each end of the bridge. Not the top of the line security the media keeps talking about.
I also want to add, there is no check points for workers on the bridge. He does not have to show ID like you do at Port Authority construction sites (i.e. World Trade Center).
