Has a bomb threat ever resulted in a bomb being found?

The IRA used to do it. And there was the University of Wisconsin explosion in 1970. OK, kind of rare.

And don't forget those Weathermen / Weather Underground scumbags.

One bomb went off, a second one was discovered.

All flights were diverted to Tenerife, a much smaller airport. This diversion was the first in a chain of events that resulted in the collision of two fully loaded 747s on the runway at Tenerife, still the worst airline disaster on record.

The News & Observer office got one here in Raleigh. Was this a coordinated wingnut effort?

Jump right to pointing the finger, typical. They've been reported all across the country.

It's more likely a tech savvy moronic teen, similar to the last one of its size. Which was hailed as anti-Semitic only to find out it was a US-Israeli Jewish teen.

Are you complaining about finger pointing aimed at one group by pointing your finger at a different group?

Is an individual, not a group.

the only crime the MSP can definitively report is their own vast defrauding of the taxpayers through false overtime claims.

but this is a real bomb threat, which needs to be dealt with. This is a crime.

Maybe call the ATF, FBI or something.

the partner agencies at local and federal level as stated in the original post?

By Parkwayne on Fri, 12/14/2018 - 4:48pm.

You know, organizations with a proven track record of serving and protecting the public. Unlike the MSP.
