Just got back from docks
06.09.2003 09:46
What I saw was about half a dozen small inflatable boats (with cow heads?) making for the swing bridge and the locks. Police presense was obviously massive and I avoided getting close until the action started. I then tried to cross the bridge but was detained ("no we are not detaining you") by police so couldn't see much. I did see a couple of people in the water in suits. I didn't see the ship that was coming in but heard that it had been radioed and told to proceed with caution as there were people in the water.
I saw about half a dozen people arrested. They were land support people or perhaps people attempting to lockon to the bridge - impossible to tell but the police did confirm that people had tried to lockon. Those arrested will have been taken to Charing Cross which is the charging centre for the whole dsei policing thang.
I didn't see the people in the water getting removed thanks to the oh so friendly coppers. Helecopter kept circling. Suspect the ship was coming into the locks as I left. Didn't fancy hanging around as I got nicked last nigh in the area and didn't want to spend more time doing the charing cross thing.
Anyway, off to sort out video.
