Local Bridge Terror Threat - The "New" bridge in Memphis

Threats

I find this very doubtful. They've been working on this bridge to shore it up to withstand an earthquake for a couple of years now. The result has been workers on and under the bridge every day for months. While it would make it easier to get someone under there that didn't belong, I think that would be offset by the number of eyes that are under there and know what they're looking at compared to normal.

But I can see the bridge from my work desk, so if something happens I'll let you know and try to get pictures.

Of course, I guess they could just load up a semi on the bridge wired to blow. Currently there's a semi on the TN side of that bridge. Will keep you updated. Helios flying around the bridge currently.

My guess is that a bomb in a random place on top of the bridge isn't going to do much. Got to target the key areas of support.

Agreed. Truck got started or otherwise moved. Probably the fastest TDOT response on record. Don't blame anyone for taking these nut jobs at their word. Prudent to check things out, but no sense in going nuts about it.
