Yes, evacuation of an area the size of circle over a mile in diameter seems a bit extreme.

Strange story

Update:

https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2024/10/10/emergency-alert-knoxville-police-investigating-explosives-evacuation-western-avenue/75615786007/

People who were told to evacuate the area of Mynderse and Western avenues likely won’t get to go home or reopen their businesses overnight while a bomb squad investigates a steel box filled with suspected explosives.

During a press conference at 7 p.m. Oct. 10, Knoxville Police Department and Knoxville Fire Department spokesmen said the evacuation announced that afternoon would continue, likely into the next day.

KPD and KFD crews were called to CMC Recycling at 2706 Mynderse Ave. at 2:15 p.m. Oct. 10 in response to a report that employees there had discovered a steel box that contained suspected dynamite and was smoking, KPD posted in a statement on Facebook.

“There is no evidence to suggest foul play or that the box was left on site maliciously,” the Facebook post said. “It is believed that employees were sorting through material when they discovered the box and attempted to open it. They called 911 immediately after seeing the contents.
