My son attends GaTech and called me about an hour ago to tell me he signed on for the Atlanta marathon....he did not tell me about this so I guess he was not in or near the bldg....he also did not tell me about that bag bomb that blew a few years ago outside his dorm....it sounds like everyone is ok and that is a good thing

Just heard on the radio the student responsible was one George P. Burdell who is on the Homeland Security watchlist.

If you never went to Tech you wouldn't know who George P Burdell is....
He's the everyman Tech student who appears wherever Tech students or alums are. Kinda like Kilroy....

My nephew goes to Tech, and I just called him. He said that when the initial notice went out over the emergency notification (imagine it’s email or text because that’s how it is at my son’s college) the notice indicated they should evacuate the campus, so people just got up and left class. But then a few minutes later the notice came back and said that only the Science bldg should be evacuated. Pretty funny! He had no details, only knew it was a chemical spill.

Funny when I was there during a Freaknik that turned into a riot we were instructed to evacuate the campus. The lab prof flatly informed us if we left he would flunk us.
