commuter bomb scare
Posted by pat390 on Tuesday, August 24, 2004 4:57 PM
one of the south shore and south bend commuter trains was stopped and evacuated a few days ago due to a suspicious looking bucket on the last car.
After sending in the Chicago bomb squad they determined it was jsut a cleaning bucket from the night before. I have to say that is the saddest excuse for a bomb threat i have ever heard

I wonder how many red faces there were over that incident? Was the filled or was it empty? If it was empty, couldn't they have looked at it, and seen it was harmless? You have to wonder if people aren't overreacting.
