Bomb Threat At MSU

Wednesday, April 30, 2008

UPDATE: The student center has just reopened. 2:34 pm.

We're receiving tips on a evacuation at MSU as a result of a bomb threat. Students received this email alert...

"MSU: There is a bomb threat at the Student Center. Please stay away from building. Building has been evacuated. 12:37 p.m.

Photo by Matthew McCullough, Baristanet's new intern and MSU correspondent, who descries the scene:

Right now it's just taped off and traffic is diverted ... students are just annoyed and playing football in the quad.

(I hope this is not a new feature here... There are bomb threats all the time-- especially during exam time. But of course I do remember the great Blanton Hall Fire of 1988... No bomb. Just a cigarette and some dry hay...)

Maybe someone commented about one of the DJs "bombing" on his radio show and it got blown out of proportion.

Right now the sidewalks are taped off and all car traffic is being diverted behind the diner. No word on where we're getting back in to work on the last issue of the paper, or if todays SGA legislator meeting will be rescheduled.

 

Thanks, Liz. My son's at work this afternoon, paying no attention to MSU. Because I read this I can tell him to check if his evening class is cancelled or on schedule.

Just a typo. It was actually a boob threat, as Wet was planning to install a new billboard on the Student Center.

Why is this all so strange? I will be pretty pissed if I am on the train and they decide to cancel classes...grrrrr......

I just went to MSU homepage

"The University Police and the bomb squad of the Passaic County Sheriff's Office have completed a search of the Student Center building and have deemed the building safe and have reopened the building for its regular use and activities.

The search was conducted after the University received a bomb threat earlier in the day."
