Box detonated contained depth measurement device
BLADE STAFF
The box that caused stoppage of trains, boats, and street traffic
and evacuation of homes in the area of Norfolk Southern railroad
bridge over the Maumee River near downtown Toledo last night
contained a depth measurement device, police said.
Authorities yesterday blew up a box found on a Norfolk Southern
railroad bridge over the Maumee River near downtown Toledo. The box
has to do with the dredging of the Maumee River near the downtown,
Sgt. Charles Nearhood, of the Toledo police bomb squad, said.
The box, about 2 feet by 1 foot, was chained to a bridge pier and
had wires that dropped about 20 feet into the water, Toledo Police
Lt. George Kral said.
After detonating the device and determining it to be harmless,
authorities surmised it was a research tool to measure the
temperature and depth of the Maumee River. But they didn’t know to
whom it belonged.
“A blue box chained to a railroad bridge in the middle of the water
just didn’t look like it was supposed to be there,” Lieutenant Kral
said.
Before anyone else places any other devices near a railroad
bridge, “it would probably be a wise idea to notify the railroad,”
agreed Scott Wilson, an FBI spokesman.
About 10 people were evacuated from the Starboard Side condominiums
for about an hour. The railroad was closed for nearly four hours,
delaying at least three trains, while the river was closed to boats
for about three hours. Miami Street was closed for about 30 minutes.
Along with Toledo police and the FBI, the Northwest Ohio Bomb Squad
and the U.S. Coast Guard went to the scene.
E.coli cases this week along with a large Michigan firm’s beef recall.

Pipeline ruptures - Canada and Washington State, Electricity issues, San Fran, NJ, the other day the Nevada airport, Botulism case and massive recall, the report issued about the IED’s and pre-attack practice runs, chemical plant incidents and the train derailments (carrying hazardous materials), rocket launchers, explosive finds and the like. I’ve posted over 200 incidents on the site in the past week.
I’ve noticed a pattern with these events, seem to travel in at least 3 incidents within a day or two. Airline traffic seems okay today, but last week there were nationwide delays that don’t make sense to me.
There indeed is a puzzle...too many pieces for them all to be unrelated imo.
