Fast
Intersection closed for only 25 minutes is pretty fast. Thanks to Bomb squad for that.
Rode through there at that time yesterday
I was on my bike and went right past there at that time yesterday. Given the number of emergency vehicles that were around, I thought they were having practice drills before the marathon.
