Bomb Squad called to the street my sister lives on!

[misty8723]

I'm totally freaked out. Someone found a backpack with wires coming out of in their driveway attached to a neighbor's house. Police and bomb squad are there. It's down on the other end of the street from her house, but no idea about what's going on now. I guess they Xrayed it.

She just said they all left, so I guess it was not a bomb. The local tv station didn't have any news, so I may have to try to get it back on for the 10:00 to see what they found out.

Wow! I’m glad it was just a false alarm; but taken seriously!

What a relief!!! How unnerving to have this happen. TG it was a false alarm.

 

[Elphaba09]

Glad it was a false alarm, but I am sure it was terrifying!

 

[misty8723]

It was very terrifying. Her neighbor said it was attached to her electric box and was humming. She doesn't know what it was yet, supposed to be on the 10:00 news. I'm going to try watching it online.

Let us know!

I hope they figure out who did that and stop them from doing it again! In the days of cameras everywhere, maybe they will find them. I am glad no one was hurt.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Woah. That’s crazy!

 

[Winchester]

Oh wow. I'm so glad it wasn't anything serious. But geez, why do people do stuff like that? I hope they can fine whoever pulled that stunt. and I'm really glad everybody is OK.

 

[nurseangel]

That is so scary. Thank goodness everyone is okay. Really hope they catch who did this...

Following up. I asked my sister if there was anything new and she said it was a radon detection device left behind by a worker that was testing for radon at that house. I don't know if they've discovered who did it, but I'm guessing someone is in pretty big trouble. Scared the heck out of a lot of people, including me

Yep, I bet someone got a severe reprimand if not fired although maybe not with the labor shortage. for the update.

wow that definitely is something to be concerned about. Weird. Let us know what happened.

They should. They scared the heck out of a lot of people. Seriously, how could this person be so careless???!!!

So happy that it wasn't some Psycho trying to hurt people. What a relief!!!

Scary! Most bomb scares end up being something innocent like that, thankfully. But better safe than sorry. When I was a kid, we lived on a military base and they used to do little tests, where they'd leave a duffel bag somewhere unattended and the first person to call it in got a prize. Too bad this wasn't one of those tests .

As far as I know, radon tests have to be left in place for an extended period of time. You'd think they'd have RADON TEST written on it in big letters somewhere just to avoid this type of issue.

Yikes! Glad to hear everything was ok.
