Only in New York could something like this happen:
A man in a Revolutionary War-era submarine was cited by the U.S. Coast Guard for drifting into a security zone, and for unsafe sailing in New York's East River near the Queen Mary 2 luxury liner, the Coast Guard and New York City Police Department said Friday.
The man in the replica vessel was identified as 35-year-old Philip "Duke" Riley of Brooklyn, N.Y., according to Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Seth Johnson.
It just doesn't get any better.
The article says that the submarine "does not pose a terrorist threat." *Whew*. I was worried there for a minute.
here's a set of photos from a test run a couple of weeks ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/keylimecom/sets/72157600904315117/
