Earlier this afternoon, both NYC Harbor Patrol and Hoboken Police flocked to what looked like a whale in the Hudson River (we also had a reader alert us that it looked like a dead orca whale was in the water, from her view at the IAC building on West 18th Street). Now Hoboken 411 (who has photos) reports that what looked "similar to a whale or capsized boat" was really just a piece of a tug boat that had fallen off a vessel. So, phew, no dead whale sightings today!
