Earlier today, Annemarie Dooling, a New York based Web producer, went to her bank near Penn Station to make a deposit, which soon became a more exciting affair when a bank robber held up her bank. While the police had been alerted to the robbery through conventional means, Dooling, whose twitter handle is @TravelingAnna, tweeted the robbery in real time, mostly the aftermath of the actual event.
Whether or not this is the first time a bank robbery has been tweeted before has yet to be confirmed by Twitter.
