![]() Credit: The Cabal The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger. "Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix." We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research. YOU be the Judge and get informed. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

I was just concerned about the environment. Hoping that a East Coast TM'r would keep a local eye on this development. After all, false bomb warnings for buses get reported here. ;0)
Of course, I've gotta say it because it is such a part of my personal philosophy. If you are so inclined and laws permit, learn to shoot and get your concealed carry permit.
That's pc for you.
Construction: One of the most striking features of West Philadelphia's skyline is the spire of Christ Memorial Church at the corner of 43rd and Chestnut. The elegant gothic revival architecture is a testament to the grandeur of 19th century Philadelphia. The church is a complex of three contiguous buildings: Seminary, Sanctuary, and Parish Hall.
Very well stated and right to the heart of the matter
It's actually not all that uncommon to see big die offs like this, the fact that the story mentioned upwelling was strange though. Upwelling typically occurrs after hurricane or other windstorm passage (the winds cause the water to mix, cold water comes up from below). The east coast has been a bit stormy this summer, so it is still a possible cause.
I immediately thought about 'red tide' which is an algae bloom that kills off fish, but that doesn't seem too likely in this situation.
Listening to Chicago scanner. EMS plan 1 at 31st and Indiana near Chicago downtown. A suspicious suitcase was thrown from a moving vehicle around 10:00 CST. Package was not able to be x-rayed due to lining inside os suitcase. Bomb techs opened the suitcase finding a liter sized container with liquid, hoses and wires. Evacuations are underway.
wow, Chicago is getting absolutely pounded with storms right now too... must be a fun night there.
Suspicious Package Leads To Evacuation On South Side
Suitcase Reportedly Thrown From Moving Car
POSTED: 10:18 pm CDT August 3, 2004
CHICAGO -- Bomb and arson officers with the Chicago Police Department and a hazardous materials crew responded Tuesday night to a call of a suspicious suitcase that reportedly was thrown by three men out of a moving car on a South Side street.
A citizen notified the police of a "suspicious package" on the sidewalk at 31st Street and Indiana Avenue, Sgt. Kenneth Pang said. The witness reported seeing the black carry-on suitcase being tossed out the window of a car with three men inside.
About 13 district officers, along with bomb and arson officials, responded to the scene just before 8 p.m. and blocked off a two-block radius, Pang said. He added that standard police procedure is to secure a minimum of 2,000 yards around a suspicious package.
"We don't touch it ... we handle everything with caution," Pang said about the suitcase.
A Level 1 hazardous materials response was issued at 8:30 p.m. because the police "needed extra help" in securing area, fire department spokesman Dennis Gault said. The initial call came in at 7:50 p.m., he said.
The response sent two engines, two trucks, one squad, one hazardous incident team, one deputy district chief, one battalion chief, one safety officer, one ambulance and the command van. Residents were evacuated from the area as a precaution, police said.
By 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, the hazardous materials response had been upgraded to a Level 2 response, and three ambulances were sent because bomb and arson officials found a container with wires similar to a bomb when they opened the suitcase, according to Pang. The upgraded response is "just standard operating procedure in case anything happens," he said.
