Just reported on air.

No mention of further terrorist leads- no chance in color code status. Developing..

"Where can this color coding be found?"

I was wondering the same thing. Our local radio station did an emergency Broadcast Test this morning - and it seems THAT would be a logical place to "announce" the current color code, or say something about it - but nada....

They are reporting in that 800+ post thread that the Pilot reported mechanical failure. Why would there be a need to evacuate anything if this is what they thought. Precaution seems to be a waste of time if they are sure the pilot reported mechanical failure. More to this then meets the eye? I think so.

wow...we have been having "EBT"'s all week. I thought it might have something to do with Hurricane season coming up, though. Hm.

while dozens were injured after the aircraft struck the Pirelli high-rise in the heart of the city’s financial district.

Sound familiar?

I went to the Whitehouse link to the emergency code and it says "ELEVATED" - significant chance of terrorist attack. Anyone know how long it's been at THAT level? Just curious.

Well, then that's where we still are - Yellow = Elevated. Thanks.

Actually some were lobbying to start on 'neutral/blue', but that might seem not 'on guard' enough..

The chief consular official who works at the consulate is the consul.

Counsel = lawyer.

And don't get me started on council...
