Brooklyn Bridge White Flag Mystery Deepens: Cops Don't Know Who Did It

The mystery surrounding two white flags that appeared on top of the Brooklyn Bridge today deepened as the New York City Police Department admitted they don't know who committed the security breach or how they accomplished it.

White flags, which are symbols of surrender, flew from poles on the stone supports atop the famed bridge that connects Brooklyn and Manhattan over the East River.

"I'm not particularly happy about the event," said NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton.

NEW YORK, N.Y.—Bike path advocates have taken responsibility for the appearance of two mysterious white flags on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.



An entity called Bike Lobby tweeted Tuesday that it hoisted the flags to signal “surrender of the Brooklyn Bridge bicycle path to pedestrians," it said.


The bridge is one of the most heavily secured landmarks in New York, and is constantly monitored by surveillance cameras.


Soon after the report appeared, the @BicycleLobby account claimed it was a parody account and mocked the news media for taking it seriously.

The Bike Lobby gave up it's sovereignty to pedestrians. Theres' sort of a tussle going on between bicyclers and joggers on bridges these days. Most bridges don't have adequate room for both pedestrians a bikes.

It's OK, OT can't ride a bike and can't walk around the house without huffing and puffing............His bridges are OK for both..............

One group did take credit — and in the process briefly duped the New York Daily News and the Associated Press.

The "Bike Lobby" said on Twitter that it had raised the white flags "to signal our complete surrender of the Brooklyn Bridge bicycle path to pedestrians."

The parody account, which describes itself as an "all-powerful enterprise," was set up to make fun of bicycle opponents.

ouch..

so it wasn't the bike lobby..

just another lapse in security that shows we have lost basic freedoms for no reason..

The NYPD is searching for suspects and meaning after the Brooklyn Bridge's American flags were replaced by bleached-white banners.

The replacement flags appeared to be bleached-white American flags, with stars and stripes still faintly visible,

there is so much meaning in those symbols.. that history may look back on them and say this is the last vague remnant of what the US stood for..

or it may be the days when we took back what little is left and built a stronger country on that faint remnant.

I think many of US who still care can see alot of symbolism..
