Mackinaw Bridge closed

Just read where the bridge has been closed due to an active bomb threat. The bridge video has been turned off and all air and water traffic stopped near the bridge too. Any in the area have better info?

I’m betting that hundreds, if not thousands, of people stuck in the UP trying to cross the bridge and go home are not happy campers whatsoever….

Somebody doesn’t want to go back to work tomorrow.

Last year, there was a threat to bomb the Christmas Tree in Harbor Springs. When it turned out that the threat came from overseas, the FBI lost all interest in it. Thrown down Orwell's Memory Hole. I suspect the same thing happened here. Middle Eastern Terrorists. Oil competition from pipeline related. Or Ecoterrorists trying to bomb the pipeline. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Per MLive, it appears the police suspect the same person was involved in both of these threats. They didn’t mention any overseas terrorists or pissed off oil company analysts though.

Or a Trumper that finally came to grips that they lost and lashed out after the audit of Antrim County?
