Thanks very much for the ping.
It’s a pretty sad release by the Mayor saying “We want the public to know in this particular area that they are safe. It has been determined that this is not an airborne threat,”
No one could even know that in the first hours. The person bringing this in if it’s real could be exposed, where was he previously and with whom etc.?
If this is what we can expect in an emergency from these idiots then we are all sitting ducks.
One thing that strikes me from the news channel 5 article:
http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=6927100&nav=menu374_2
“The department will be closed for at least the next day as the investigation continues.”
My Comment: Doesn’t that seem rather longer than we usually see as an estimate in an unknown hazmat report? I seem to recall that they usually say something like “several hours” or such. Knowing this early in an investigation that you will have to close a POLICE STATION for “at least the next day” seems to me to be rather telling.
