<DIV>this was so surreal. u would have had to been there to appreciate what
happened. </DIV>
<DIV>ar'd 11pm, tues evening,i notice many police cars on barclay &
30th sts. then a huge white truck with 'emergency services' printed on it,
drives up. being nosey like i am i had to find out what was happening,esp. after
being told by the police that i would have to stay in my house. i wanted to know
why. at the same time people close to the corner of barclay & 30th sts.n.e.
corner, were being told they had to LEAVE their houses. i was finally told that
there was a suspicious item on the corner. it was one of the rolling type
suitcases. there was no one attached to it. no one knew who it belonged to
ssooooo,with an orange security alert, the situation was treated as a bomb
inside a suitcase. i felt a little sorry for the police. they knew as well as i
did that there was NO bomb in that suitcase. come on folks
barclay&30th???the corner was blocked off with police tape. no one could go
across 30th st or onto barclay which was closed off at 31st.</DIV>
<DIV>i was finally told to either go inside or be forcible removed from my
home. after what seemed like 30 mins. there was no one in sight. no cars
or anything.i'm sitting on the step leading into the doorway of my house when i
notice a metallic thing riding up the street. it was robbie robot. it was really
neat seeing it.i tiptoed out my back door,met up with my neighbors on vineyard
lane, hid behind these smelly dumpsters, and we watched everything. i took some
pictures of robbie examining the suitcase. i don't know if they will come out
but hope so.then all of a sudden there is a big explosion. robbie exploded the
suitcase open. unfortunately we were not able to see the contents. we all were
sneaking ar'd the hidden walkways that lead to the alley in hopes of catching a
glimpse of anything. it was not to be. </DIV>
<DIV>i do think that us 4 women would make good detectives:))</DIV>
<DIV>the one thing we were all wondering is, if u think there r
explosives in a suitcase or whatever,why explode it. wouldn't that make
the explosion worse??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and now bush is hinting around about iran.</DIV>
