Major shiz going down in LA, just on news.

[WaterTight]

Immediate evacuation, closure and search of more than 1000 schools due to intercepted terror threat towards "many schools" according to chief of LA's Police School Dept.

650,000 pupils affected.

That`s a lot of ****ed off parents now having to arrange child care. lol

 

[WaterTight]

I know. Can you imagine the logistical and knock-on effects of something of this magnitude? Mind-boggling.

If I was a terrorist I'd think why am I bothering trying to pull off an attack, just bombard them with credible sounding threats and bring them to a standstill.

terrorist could bring the country to a standstill just by mass arso attacks on key telecoms sites can you imagine the carnage of the internet failing for any length of time

Some of the Americans supported terrorists here for years, so now they can enjoy all it brings to them.

See New York got the warning but dismissed it as a hoax.

Wasn't that Die Hard 3?

Just going by the news feed.

Yeah apparently it was an email originating in Frankfurt..

 

[Leo21]

Could be a teenager prank.

It's a bad situation but as a father to a youngish girl I'd rather lose some work than any kid be killed. I think closing schools was the right decision as they obviously had Intel / serious threat that if they hadn't acted upon, a kid dies & it emerges someone knew something the crap will hit the fan

 

[Masood]

Heard on the news today it was a hoax.

They've won, really. They have made people so afraid that now all they need to do is make phone calls or send emails to cause havoc. They don't even need bombs or guns...

 

[SimonG]

Then the phone calls keep coming and gradually get ignored until, bang, hundreds of people dead again. Damned if you don't and damned if you do.
