Major Security Lapse at Brooklyn Bridge


As the sun rose over our city this morning, social media outlets, Twitter, Instagram, Face Book, etc., started talking about how sometime during the overnight hours, persons thus far unknown, apparently went unnoticed as they climbed to the top of both towers of the Brooklyn Bridge and removed and then replaced the American flags that sat atop each tower with a large, plain "white" flag. 

  It was just a few months ago in lower Manhattan that security was breached when several individuals unlawfully entered and traveled unnoticed to the top of the new "Freedom Tower" (pictured prominently behind the Brooklyn Bridge in the photo above) and then based jumped (parachuted) from the tower to the Manhattan streets below.

The various news outlets are now reporting that the "authorities" are actively investigating this incident but one has to wonder just how seriously the issue of security is being taken by those in charge when these incidents keep occurring.
