[My Favorite Headache]

FOX 18 out of Charlotte reporting this as of 4 mins ago.

[SunnyUsa]

ok, not joking right? like baby powder etc???

I don't think you'd joke about this....Please keep us posted

[Senator Pardek]

Why at this hour?

[SamAdams76]

It's 8:00 at night. Why a daycare center? Everybody's home (thankfully).

[goodnesswins]

It's dark isn't it? Is it fake snow for a special for the kiddies or something....this is WEIRD.

[steveo]

Was the powder 'white and mysterious'? WE HAVE GOT TO CALM DOWN! Whoever is behind this (whose behind is the giant rat of Sumatra?) is relishing in the panic invoked by the media reports. It's a dumpster fire for the entire nation to view.

[Tai_Chung]

Off Old Charlotte Highway

5:30 - 6:00 pm......plane flying low over them.....eyewitnesses noticed white powder on themselves and the children........hazmat on the way.....FBI on the way.....children taken to hospital.....

[looois]

I hope this is not real. if it is, if dumped in daylight, plane would be seen and caught. Maybe they thought, after dark, they could dump it, not be seen and get away. If bio, it would still be there the next morning when children come in. I hope this is not real. Cause if it is, it means they intend to target our children.

[BlackJack]

Try and resist the impulse to spread panic. Its not a breaking story....there is no story right now.

[copycat]

Bin Laden said he would next strike "the heart of America." It was speculated that could mean an attack on America's children.

[piasa]

let us know if they actually saw the plane do this- we had some folks freak out down here in Florida when they came out to the parking lot after work and saw powder all over their cars...

Turned out to be a thick dusting of pollen from the trees.

[lelio]

I'm sure we'll hear later on that it was an accident by an unnamed pilot and for everyone to move on.

[concerned about politics]

Is there anything stratigic near or close to the day care center? Does the center share the building with anything else? How many kids????????No, not the children. I'd do anything to protect the kids or the helpless elderly!!

[KellyAdmirer]

Could just be a legitimate cropduster with a bonehead pilot. Isn't that near Mayberry RFD? Paging Andy Taylor...

[Liberty Teeth]

They just said that the powder was dropped aound 5:30 and they have taken some kids to the hospital for tests.

[WalterSkinner]

If it is a prank, their punishment should be to drop them out of a plane over Kabul.

[Missy35]

below is a site where you can listen to PD, FD, and airport traffic control scanners on internet while freepin... http://bobc_3.tripod.com/live.html

[c. l. coffman]

I don't care if it's Bin Laden's gang or a sick prank - no mercy should be shown for this.

[Mulder]

There have been several 'occurences' that have later been found out to be hoaxes, or overreactions, or nothing at all.

If this is the exception, and an attack by the terrorists on American children, I can easily see a large number of patriots in North Carolina taking up arms, and finding the terrorists themselves instead of waiting for the bozos in DC to do anything.

People are buying up ammo and magazines left and right. I'm not talking about .38 caliber bullets for grandmother. I'm talking about .223 'assualt weapon' ammo, and 30 round pre-ban magazines. They are selling faster than people can keep them in stock, and if more terrorist attacks occur here, I can see patriots putting their new toys to good use.

I hope fighter planes are circling now
