Exactly! I'm watching MSNBC right now and it seems they can't get enough of it.

Jersey, you know as well as I do if it doesn't involve a shooting, a stabbing or a fire, it isn't going to be on the news! lol

Silly me, can''t believe I even had to ask.

[Semper911]

It sounds more like "shelter-in place" than a quarantine.

Beat ya to the NAFTA rip by a few seconds! Wow, we had the same thought at the same time. Stop that.

Wasn't it dinner time in Yonkers? What if you swallow it, instead of inhaling?-- then it could be deadly. Worse, what if you lick your fingers, instead of using a napkin?

Hmm.. maybe in the water supply?

flown there faster

They can easily have flown it in ----it's probably much easier bringing in something like large quantities of cyanide from Mexico than trying to buy it in the US where suspicions could be aroused.

Glad I could help.

Why would terrorists attack an apartment building in Yonkers??? Unless, of course, they were mixing something up and had an "accident." Still, it seems a little out of line. Could it be perhaps some kind of industrial leak from a factory around there?
