You may want to avoid the Manhattan Bridge for the next few hours—according to a tipster, there’s a large truck fire on the Manhattan side. Update: According to Gothamist, it’s a tractor-trailer that caught on fire in the Brooklyn-bound lanes.

m4l – Certain other parts of the building do. The view from my office is pretty dull.
Lechal, your office has pretty nice view
que?
Oh… that’s good. Hopefully the military helicopters had State Dept folks on them.
tybur6, those aliens are bring $$$ to bail us out
Yeah… lechacal… those helicopters are for the alien invasion.
Fire is out, traffic moving in both directions. A couple of military helicopters just flew down the East River, which I assume is unrelated to the truck fire.
I heard it was a Stella D’Oro truck full of cookies and the union guys did it.
