Live Report from Mandeville Canyon Reservoir:
All day investigators have been there after the reports of cut locks and vandalism to the area leading to the water supply.
The water reservoir serves mostly residents of Mandeville Canyon. The reservoir is near Mulholland Canyon.
Locks had been broken at the gates which led to the water supply.
LAPD brought in their dive team. HAZMAT came. They tested the water, then bypassed the water supply and shut off the water from Mandeville Canyon Reservoir which had been supplying the residential area.
No contaminants were found in the water.
OH those lov'in terrorists..just spreading the love...that's all!
Jeeze, you're quick with the pic!!
Thanks. I can sorta picture that.
Poisoning water supplies ( in a Water Reservoir) is a poor way to commit terrorism. There are much better ways to deliver your poisoned water to point of use.
it took exactly 6 posts before someone asked if any Arabs were seen leaving the area....
This forum is simply amazing sometimes...
Pray, Hope and Don't Worry
The fact this is breaking news on Freerepublic, it will be under control.
Even if someone tried to do something, it is hard to cause problems.
Sometimes worry does the most damage in these situations.
Be glad we have President Bush in control, and not a fellow from Massachusetts or Tennessee...
Yeah, it's not like it was the first thing on anyones mind or anything...

It took that long? wow ;-)
It was Cheney.
LOL
that's what I'm sayin.....
I was being facetious....
I am sure it's on some minds no matter what the situation....
pretty sad.
They'd give Arabs credit for bad weather...
We're a cheap target... They don't even have to do anything.
LOL
You obviously missed the last Batman movie.
... and it probably took "authorities" five seconds to state that this is not an act of terrorism :o)
there was vandalism before there was terrorism.
it kinda sounds as if they know exactly what happened this time around, unlike the "bottle rocket"
