How often do you see this?

@ 11:05 Eastern this morning I was traveling westbound on I-64 near exit 181 (Richmond) and noticed a fair amount of 'official commotion' in the eastbound lanes. What I witnessed next was rather curious...marked and unmarked State and Federal cars were positioning themselves and blocking all traffic entering the Interstate so I assumed some dignitary motorcade would be passing by any moment.

Wrong! Coming up next was another group of Public safety cars surrounding and leap-frogging a convoy of 4 brand new Coca-Cola tractor trailers. There were also SWAT looking guys on Enduro type off-road motorcycles positioning themselves around strategic locations.

All of this was moving in a group down the interstate @ about 65mph. No one, and I mean no one, I saw was getting within a quarter of a mile of these cola trucks except its ridiculously large and curious escort.

That was f*cking spooky weird. I'm serious.
Wonder what's up?

poisoned coke getting sent out.

"You'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola company" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUAK7t3Lf8s)

That's downright freaqy...would send shivers up and down my spine if I saw it. Maybe terrorist threats to the Coca-Cola company? Gotta keep the Coke flowing, I guess.

Or maybe somebody thought that a convoy of Coca-Cola trucks would be inconspicuous cover? Especially with all those escorts? Off for some google-fu about this.

My money is on them filming a commercial. We see that sort of thing quite a bit around here because San Diego is close enough to L.A. to be convenient but the traffic is lighter and it's cheaper to film here.

See any camera trucks?

[ki4itv]

No camera trucks.
Lots of resources being spent.
It was very, very weird.

blame terrorist. we all must live in fear

Pepsicorp has been making threats...

Kind of reminds me of the time I was driving my big rig on I-94 in North Dakota and encountered a military convoy literally several miles long, traveling at about 50 MPH. There were dozens of olive drab Suburbans, canvas-covered transport trucks loaded with troops and Humvees with the M-60 machine guns mounted—something you don't see on public highways here very often. In the very center was one unmarked 18-wheeler pulling a very odd trailer. It was relatively short (less than 40') and appeared to open by pulling apart diagonally from the center. My guess was that they were transporting nuclear missile warheads or some other similarly dangerous material that they absolutely did not want to fall into the wrong hands.

wow. I remember in the late 90s seeing something like that here in indiana rolling up I-65 in front was 2 ISP cars then military then a lone semi pulling something then more mil followed by 2 ISP the mil trucks were armed.

Off for some google-fu about this.

I couldn't find anything except articles on the new Hybrid and electric semi's Coca-Cola was introducing to their fleet.
What I saw was official presence overkill for anything like that.

The toll road I work for is right next to Buckley AFB. Fighters practice touch and go frequently, and deploy to fly patterns whenever dignitaries show up. Lots of "blacked out" SUV's and interesting helicopters when that happens. My favorites are the bigass Chinooks and cargo planes. Once I saw a HUGE cargo jet take off with JATO there. No markings on that plane, it was a matte grey/black color. It flew low and slow for a long ways even with the booster packs. Headed due west after circling and gaining altitude.

Wild, wild, stuff...

Probably an Air Force C-17, they're generally a matte gray. The JATO is pretty unusual, though; whatever it was carrying must have been very heavy.

Yea, the lack of markings on aircraft there does not surprise me, the flight pattern and take off did. When the reserves and the AF cadets are practicing, the chatter is easy to find on my VX-5. Pretty cool to listen to it, snappy but friendly.

There IS a shadow gov't. (No sarcasm) These Black ops, military or civilian, war-related or not, that show up in NO government budgets, show clearly that there IS shit going on that maybe we're glad to not know about. Who the eff knows what they're carrying? Most of the "standard" stuff doesn't include these extra-ordinary measures we're talking about here.

[kb2vxa]

Relax, the Coke machines at the White House needed restocking.

"These Black ops, military or civilian, war-related or not, that show up in NO government budgets, show clearly that there IS shit going on that maybe we're glad to not know about."

If a toilet seat costs taxpayers $20,000 imagine what a can of Coke costs us? Nah, you really don't want to know.

[W1GUH]

No problem...it's the delivery charges.
