Orlando - Authorities say a device similar to a pipe bomb has exploded in a rubbish bin at a remote Walt Disney World parking lot.
No one was injured and no serious damage was reported in what officials believe was an isolated incident.
Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said an employee heard a loud noise and saw white smoke coming from the can near the downtown Disney shopping and entertainment district.
Beary said: "We've recovered a very crude, homemade, low-level device. Because of the time and location of the event, we do not believe this incident was designed to cause significant property damage or injury. We also believe this is an isolated incident."
Beary said investigators were still trying to determine what the device was made of, but "end caps" - typical of pipe bombs - were found at the scene.
Beary said federal authorities had also looked into the incident.
He said authorities were on high alert because of the airport attack in Scotland and attempted car bombings in London, combined with the July Fourth holiday this week.
We also believe this is an isolated incident.
Well, it is, until they blow up another.
You two should stop the trash talk.
Yeah, it was only designed to kill a few unfortunate souls who may have been in the area. Nothing 'significant' though.
I gotta stop watching the news so early in the morning! I'm up to date with all news, important or not, by 7 am.
OK, I’ll throw it in the dumpster
This year I stopped at the next exit south of there. Once your inside, the stores all look the same. I spent about $125 on 2 finale boxes.
Maybe it was those same bastards who shot Bambi’s mother!
I suspect that it’s more likely the reaction to a string of newspaper articles in the Orlando Sentinel talking about nightime security at Disney, and rowdy teens. Last week, there was an incident where some black teens were booted out of the park for getting too rowdy. This may be someone’s revenge, or perhaps someone simply trying to make Disney look bad.
Another isolated incident.
What is he talking about?!
‘very crude, homemade, low-level device’
In other words pretty Mickey Mouse.
The baddies are up to something.
I guess I missed that part of their message because it was obscured by their "Islam is a religion of peace" crap.
Sometimes what is said out loud for public consumption is not the same as what is said in private.
I have no doubt that the White House has had plenty of private conversations with the Saudis and I have no doubt one of those conversations included what might happen the next time we are attacked.
Not everything is put into public view - nor should it.
Where's the "spawning itself" come in?
This is a common childhood prank.
disney is home to about the largest camera surveillance system on the planet. You cant make a move in that park without being recorded
"isolated unrelated incidences".
Or maybe an Orlando based Doctor, trained in Syria... we have one among the British terrorists that trained in Jordan and one trained in Iraq... so why not a Doctor trained in Syria!

Ok, I will s&*tcan it
