I saw it too!! Was on my way to hand a paper in at Social Sciences and they wouldn't let any cars through. I thought someone had been run over. I wonder what that substance was?

i was walking out of Science A, just finished my First chem 201 lab...damn hydrates...and was walking to UNI station, noticed they shut off the road to the station i thought someguy got run over...but that didnt explain the HAZMAT crew that was there, then i noticed the email hehe....i snapped a few quick pics with the good old cell, there not great, but then again there WERE like 20 cops there

That's nuts!

And today was the day that the Mexican President was giving a speech.

Thats why all the blue impalas, and 1/2 dozen police bikes, a chopper and cruisers on mcknight today. Any word if there was a co-relation between the suspicious package and the speech?

Police and Fire are investigating jointly, so I would expect a statement sometime early next week

I work in the building and know the unidentified male who opened the letter. The same letter was also sent to at least 5 other profs in the building. my prof received a copy and i was able to page through it a bit... pretty crazy stuff.

the 'package' contained a series of photocopied correspondences from some guy in north york ontario, to a bunch of ministers, magazine editors, and professors, etc. the front page was addressed to physicists and zoologists, and this guy was talking about his theory of how the universe would end, and other religious anti-science crap. he was trying to find academics to help him with his theory. this guy was seriously nuts, looked like a hardcore schizophrenic.

anyhow, there was no powder in any of the envelopes as initially reported. one guy who opened one of the letters felt sick (a coincidence) but as a precaution the evacuated the entire building. they didn't realize how many letters had been sent out until this morning.
