Queensboro Bridge on Fire
New York Daily News - Breaking News - Queensboro Bridge closed by scaffolding fire
The whole of Manhattan's Queensboro Bridge is closed due to a fire that seems to have started in scaffolding atop the span.
I don't have any jokes handy (well, I did, but I'm betting half of Fark is all over quoting The Fifty-Ninth Street Bridge Song, and that was the first thing to come to mind), I just wanted to beat Fark to this, since their link leads nowhere at present. However, the fact that New York's DoT spokesman is named "Ted Timbers" elicited the smallest of giggles from me, as I find alliterative names outside of comic books and Rescue Heroes toys hilarious.
