Explodingpez...I heard one of them! I was doing laundry and heard the plane overhead and mentioned to my daughter who was going to sleep that that was a very loud plane. It was around 10PM and it seemed very strange at that time of night. I am in Acworth myself.

Here is the link for the Atlanta station I heard the news about the evacuation:

However, I have not seen anything posted on the website about this yet. Hopefully, it is just a false alarm!

The news for CBS-46 Atlanta just said it was the DeKalb County precinct and said there were people in special suits entering the building now to further investigate the package. They said they do not have any more information at this time as what the package is.

A police precinct in Atlanta has been evacuated due to a suspicious package. I do not have any other information...it was a quick break-in on CBS TV in Atlanta.

I appreciate the link nwctwx...I added it to my bookmarks.

Coming out of a long time lurking mode...Can I ask somebody where I can see the message board where this EOM guy keeps posting? Thanks!

What is up with the, "2 hours to go"? Is there an actual time? Freaky.

It is a refinery fire on Staten Island. It is breaking news on CBS. Looks huge! Mostly on the water.

I just saw on the ticker of News 12, that the fire has been put out, but Penn Station remains closed due to smoke conditions.

sorry...

Ok, I do not know what the rules are for posting links to other websites, but there is some info about potential cyanide attack on this Fox page:

http://foxnews.com/story/0,2933,78426,00.html</a href>

This part is directly from the article:

"In New York, hospitals were placed on high alert based on government intelligence of a potential threat, naming cyanide as the specific terror agent.

NYU Medical Center's Chief Medical Officer Eric Rackow wrote in a staff memo Wednesday that the hospital was taking all necessary precautions.

"NYU is working to ensure that we have adequate levels of the proper antidotes and pharmaceutical agents to treat patients should they be exposed to cyanide," Rackow wrote.

The weekly FBI bulletin circulated to 17,000 law enforcement agencies urged police to be extra vigilant for possible chemical, biological and radiological attacks. The bulletin asked local officials to consult a CIA handbook on how to respond to dangerous substances should such an attack occur."

It seems like every night I come on here, freak myself out, and then go to sleep and wonder why I have nightmares!

I missed the news story, but also heard the coming attractions. I was interested in why they were making a big deal of it since these bomb threats happen a lot out here in NY since 9-11. At my college there have been at least 5 bomb threats and an anthrax scare, but they never reported it on the news. They closed down the school for the whole day for the first scare, and all of the buildings, but with each subsequent threat, they lessened the amount of time and the area to be closed. They have to take every threat seriously, but it is getting to the point where if there was a real bomb, I don't feel confident enough that it would be taken serious. Sad to say, I honestly feel it is some opportunists taking advantage of the heightened awareness, just so they don't have to take tests!

What would constitute World War III? Seriously, are there specific requirements that would make this an official World War? No flaming please.

Are you speaking from experience in the December 1999 time frame? Everyone was once a newbie!

Believe it or not, I really can spell...just not tonight. Or should I say tonite, just to keep the flow going? ;o) Ay theenk I beetter hitt the hey.

LoL, cute post! Give me enough time and I will find an idiosyncracy on anyone. Wow, I actually have a talant!! Woo Hoo!!! Finally!

Hell, I can't even spell "clearly" right tonight...I best be turning off MSNBC!

Dan Abrams. He likes to say "NOW," before he starts his explanations. Nora O'Donnell always like to use the word, "Cleary". I watch too much tv news.

Thanks for the info Justa. My dear hubby has been an MSCE for about 4 years, and it is the best move he has made in his career. But there is a remarkable decrease in job opportunities out there for those credentials, and there really has been a massive influx of paper MSCE's in the last few years. CISCO may be the way to go.
