While announcing that neither he nor Police Commisioner Howard Safir has had any concrete knowledge that any terrorist attack will take place when the ball drops at midnite on the 31, and further stating that all preparations were only precautionary, Hizzoner Mayor Rudy Guiliani has ordered TONLOADS of ICE be dumped within areas of both the Javits Convention Center and Madison Square Garden!...

Have you realized the horror of this action yet?!?!

L8r,

I think this goes along with the rumor that bodybags are being stored at Madison Square Garden for terrorist casualties. I guess the ice is to keep the bodies cool? I hope that this is just another Urban Myth going around.

Hart,

It is NOT a rumour that there were A LOT of extra body bags ordered for the New Years celebration. I personally don't think there will be any terrorist strikes on New Years. I feel that if it is going to happen, the terrorists will wait a few days until the high alert is taken off, thus taking everyone by surprise.

Tons of ice... I don't see a problem here. I know that my New Years preparations include tons of ice. How else are you going to keep that much champagne chilled? You could install a big fridge, but that would be very expensive for a one-time-only party. And let us not forget ice for cocktails. Personally, I'm gonna need fifty pounds for gin and tonics alone. The biggest risk at a giant New Years party is not terrorists, but rioting when people find out that the bar is out of ice. No, it's sensible for the mayor to be prepared.

So, when you hear these sorts of reports just -- well-- just chill out. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

Gollnick - I sat and pondered this one for a while late last night before giving up. I concluded almost exactly the same thing you posted except I prefer Vodka to Gin. Must be an Oregon thing

As a New Yorker, I gotta say that this is just another urban legend. (I'm not saying that anyone should let their guard down, but theories like this are ludicrous!)

And as for the good mayor Rudy, (and I'm from NORTHERN NY), this is one of the few (if any) politicians that actually gets anything done (not to mention the things he has actually promised to do!) This gentleman has done wonders for the city of New York, and I pray to God that he defeats that b***h in November.
 
Better to have what you don't need, than need what you don't have?

RudyMan aint gonna get caught short... not on his watch!

Personally, I think it is much adoo about nothing (I hope)

People get really excited and hysterical when the calendar changes digits. A few hundred years from now all this Y2K nonsense will be viewed as quaint and typical of major date changes.

As for terrorists, black helicopters, space aliens, or governmental oppressors, they aren't any more threatening today or on New Year's than they were last week, or will be next week.
