Suspicious Package In Downtown Cincinnati Building (A BOMB??)

[Pryderi]

See! This is exactly why President Bush needs to wiretap and torture people! That is why we need to keep Republicans in Congress! It is especially important to keep republicans in office that are in tight races with candidates from that terrorist-loving democrat party!

Mark my words...mailed anthrax attacks can kill your families, and we need President Bush and the GOP in power to protect us! Wiretapping and torture are the only way to keep the american people safe!

A suspicious package has forced the evacuation of a downtown Cincinnati building.

The package is inside the National City Bank building, 1 East 4th Street, at 4th and Vine.

"We were told to evacuate the building as quickly and orderly as possible...Some woman received a threat...and we were told to evacuate the premises as quickly as possible," said Eric Lorentz, who works in the building.

A few hundred office workers are currently standing on Second Street.

Fire department officials are currently inside the building.

2. Terra! Terra! Terra!

Something tells me we're in for lots of suspicious looking packages, airline threats, terrorist plots foiled, and all the rest until after the elections.

I hope it's nothing in Cincinnati, hopefully something somebody forgot and left behind by accident.

3. Over - nothing came about:

Updated @ 9/15/2006 12:02:17 PM: Cincinnati Police told 9News that the calling center received a threat, then a suspicious package was found, prompting the evacuation.

Nothing suspicious was found in the package, police said.

Updated @ 9/15/2006 11:43:05 AM:

The evacuation is now over. Personnel are returning to all 19 floors of the building.

6. It was an empty box that started it.

I work downtown and a security guard told us it was an empty box.

7. Bologna sandwich, an apple, and four chocolate chip cookies.

Two years ago a bag was found on a commuter train platform in LA area. The tracks at this location, and the platform, was on the median of a major area freeway. They closed down the commuter trains and closed the entire freeway while the bomb squad blew up some poor, hungry guy's lunch.

Am I the only person on this planet who thinks we are being very, very silly?
