Suspicious objects found throughout Boston after morning bomb scare
By John R. Ellement, Globe Staff
Investigators found a device on the BU Bridge today "similar to the Sullivan Square" package that forced the closure this morning of northbound Interstate 93, said Jennifer Mieth, spokeswoman for State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan, whose office oversees the State Police Bomb Squad.
Like the item found at the Sullivan Square station, the BU package was attached to the underpinnings of the bridge.
"It was not an explosive device," she said of the suspicious item found on the BU Bridge.
Mieth said State Police bomb experts are now examining a another suspicious item -- similar in construction to the items found at Sullivan station and on the BU Bridge -- that has been discovered attached to the Longfellow Bridge, which spans the Charles River from Boston to Cambridge.
Boston police are separately investigating suspicious items at Columbus and Stuart streets and near the New England Medical Center, Boston police said.
Storrow drive has been is closed, and traffic on the Longfellow Bridge has been cut down to one lane, according to Boston police. Charles Street in downtown Boston is also closed while several agencies investigate suspicious packages discovered there this afternoon.
Storrow drive was closed at 2 p.m., according to State Police. Thirty minutes later police opened one eastbound lane to traffic.
According to Boston police, Charles Street is also closed while several agencies investigate suspicious packages discovered there this afternoon.
...I live roughly half a mile from the BU bridge. That's kind of intimidating.
edit: haha, the 'suspicious packages' were apparently part of a viral marketing campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I'd hate to be on their marketing team right now.
