    Default Multiple Bomb Threats?

    From Calgary Police Twitter:



    @Calgary Police
    Following Following @Calgary Police
    We are currently responding to multiple bomb threats across #YYC. At this time we don't have any reason to believe they are credible. However, out of an abundance of caution we are treating each as if it is real. We are also aware of similar events occurring across the continent.

    A friend in BC reported there was a bunch of bomb threats at a few car dealerships in the Okanagan area as well today.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Seems like it's hundreds of locations around north America and possibly the world. The scammers might have gone too big with this.

    That's the correct response to any building evacuation. I recall being evacuated from the 34th floor of Scotia tower around 10:30am one day. Legs were quite sore, so I drank enough muscle relaxant that I was unfit for work by 1pm.

    This was a botch from the start. They should have confined it to one mid-sized city on day 1, actually detonated a device somewhere in that city, and then on day 2, target several more cities with at least one real device detonating somewhere.

    That's how you do it.

    Two GardaWorld couriers were blown up at a bank in Edmonton a day ago, so this might be an extension of that.

    Slightly more info. It was just the usual email scam with a dark twist. Unrelated to the Edmonton stuff. My guess is they don’t want to give a hoax like that too much airtime. Last thing we need is a bunch of copycats crying wolf

    Yeah, I might have a lot of time on my hands, but I haven't resorted to email scams yet.
