it’s fire drill day in NYC!
yet another Times Square “security drill” today. but this one featured various bomb squad and fire trucks blazing up and down the streets at high speeds. we were gonna skip the pics this time until this one almost hit us as it practiced the – drive into oncoming traffic – maneuver. dam our low res camera… but you can see the giant flag attached to the back of the fire track waving as they blew by us…

this morn we also passed fire team and bomb squad maneuvers going on around the police/fire dept tents that have been set up next to NYU hospital for a couple years now.
