Its difficult. those sounds could have been far-off bombing in the distance. Or fireworks. And yes I have heard both, having been in Iraq several times during the worst of that war. those being so patronizing about it have never heard actual bombs in action. Add to that? the 2 major world nuclear superpowers have been openly and loudly threatening to nuke each other. In the midst of which? Nuclear PSAs being aired on TV, posted on subway trains and on buses all over NJ? Situational awareness is NOT paranoia. wtfuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-55494334492363670752022-10-14T13:24:10.690-04:002022-10-14T13:24:10.690-04:00Worth saying again for all clueless non-compassion...Worth saying again for all clueless non-compassionate talking about grumpy people, if you were here for 9/11 any unknown loud noise, much less a series of them is disconcerting, even when that noise registers as fireworks after a few seconds. Heck, I still note low flying planes. It gets tiring with all the noise as it is. It would of been common courtesy to notify the hoi polloi via the FDNY or any other notification channels. In fact that show missed a great pr coup and could of promoted it as a thank you to NYC for being such a great setting for their show.

It was clearly fireworks. I just assumed they were illegal fireworks being set off by someone randomly. Also agree with other commenters that it's silly to assume the city paid for these when it was clearly the studio. Whether their money would have been better used elsewhere is debatable but they were clearly celebrating filming their series finale and that is allowed, even if there are people that money would have better served. That said, I know it is hard enough for those with PTSD or other aversions to sudden loud noises to deal with fireworks when they *know* they're happening let alone unexpectedly and I definitely feel for those people. The sounds were quite loud last night.
