bottom line, ross, as you say, maybe it will be clearing out. how long is the car been sitting there? >> we got this within the hour. so it hasn't been very long at this point. and from our experience in covering these things, generally as it goes past an hour, that's when you start to think gee maybe there really is something nefarious going on. but we're under that mark at this point. and so if at some point we do get an all clear here, you know, it will be a sign that things are okay. >> ross, let me interrupt you. >> traffic has backed off here. folks trying to get on to the bridge are unable to. pedestrians and vehicles. >> ross, i just got in my ear that the nypd has now officially said all clear.
