Bomb Scare @ MindSay

Well, it's been an eventful day. English assessment first period. Biology second period. Bomb scare third period.

Oh yeah. You heard right.

I go to Canterbury Girls' High School in Sydney, OK? I don't care if you know that. The boys' school is right down the road - Canterbury Boys' High School. My mum called me today when I was at school and asked if we were all alright. When I asked why, she told me.

There was a bomb scare at the boys' school!!

It wasn't until after school, however, that I found out it wasn't just a scare. There was actually a bomb in one of their buildings!!

Scary...

An unattended "vibrating bag" at O'Hare International Airport this morning caused a brief scare but was determined harmless.

The package was reported to police around 8 a.m., which prompted a response from the Chicago Police Department's Bomb and Arson Unit, a unit sergeant said.

"It was someone's property," Chicago police Officer Marcel Bright said. "There was nothing dangerous in it. Someone walked away and forgot it."

Authorities wouldn't say what was in the bag, but police did not have to destroy it, Bright said. The area was declared safe at 9 a.m.

I'm just going to say it...if they won't come out and say what was in the bag, I have a pretty good feeling that it was a vibrator.  :)

Members of the Pittsburgh Steelers were evacuated from a movie theater Wednesday night after of a bomb threat interrupted a private screening of a new DVD of last month's Super Bowl victory.

Authorities evacuated the Loews Cineplex at The Waterfront in Homestead after the threat was received from an anonymous caller to 911, Homestead Police Chief Chris Deasy said.

"It said there was a bomb that was going to go off at a Loews theater," Deasy said.

The caller had a male voice and made no reference to the Steelers, Deasy added.

Minutes after the call at 8:03 p.m, police escorted the players out of the theater and spent about an hour-and-a-half searching the premises using at least one bomb-sniffing dog. They found no evidence of a bomb.

An estimated 1,000 moviegoers were also told to leave the cineplex.
