It's 8:00 at night. Why a daycare center? Everybody's home (thankfully).

Not sure what to say until more details are given...

I only pray that it's a prank.

That's what I was wondering. Why dump anything on an empty or near-empty day care center?!

I am in a hotel right now out on assignment...just picked this up from contact I am working with via-phone as he had the station on in the background at his hotel. I don't know any other details...he broke away to make another call.

I hope someone had the brains to IMMEDIATELY call both the cops AND the FAA. Gotta track it by radar or they might not catch it.

To terrorize. If this is a terrorist, he wants to keep the US on one foot and terrorized. Plus, it is just proving to someone that it can be done. this is really sick.

Maybe they chose a time that they wouldn't be noticed. It's not like the spores won't be there in the morning in the air vents for the babies to breathe. They want deaths, they don't want people treated with antibiotics in time to stop the disease.

Was the powder 'white and mysterious'? WE HAVE GOT TO CALM DOWN! Whoever is behind this (whose behind is the giant rat of Sumatra?) is relishing in the panic invoked by the media reports. It's a dumpster fire for the entire nation to view.

Or were they doing this dumping under the cover of darkness. Strange times we live in.
