"There's a bomb in your building!"

[bigjimaz]

When I was in 7th grade (1966 Geez) There were a couple bomb threats, along with the obligatory tests they conducted back then. I remember loving these as it got us out of school for a while. (My mind couldn't really grasp the gravity of the situation) When they happened, the students were to file out and go across the street and wait for the all-clear. What I most loved was the fact that across the street where we were to congregate was my house. Me and my friends used to go to my house, have a sandwich or something and wait to see the other kids filing back into the school to rejoin them.

My best friend in high school always wore trench coats. He had a black and a tan one. After Columbine, he didn't stop wearing his trech coats, but he did wear the tan one until the dust settled on the whole situation. A classmate of ours kept making comments and hassling him about it anyway. So, he turned around, looked the other kid straight in the face and said, "Just be glad I didn't wear my black one today..."

I never saw anyone back off so fast.

I laughed my ass off.

We were sick kids thats for sure...

My buddie, back in school, always had a trench coat. Nothing ever happened to us about it. Except that one guy, tried messing with us. We just both kicked his ass

I don't know what state you're in, but in Georgia (where I am) if any threat of a bomb came into a building that was required to hold minors (read: a school) the building had to evacuate all occupants to a safe point FARTHER THAN 1000 YARDS from the building. Hence, parking lot = NOT good enough! (c: I mean really, if there IS a bomb and it explodes, you're still going to get hurt in the parking lot if the building is 'sploding (c:

Yeah, I know it is not a great distance from the building. That just proves how much they cared about us

Our school did the same crap. We were never really that far from the building during fire alarms and such.

In 2001 I worked at AAA doing emergency roadside assistance. On 9/11 I was off so this is all second hand. Apparently some one called in and said there was a bomb in the building which of course nothing was found. It could of been a couple of people: a disgruntled AAA member, a disgruntled tow truck driver, or a disgruntled employee who knows. LOL. Where the AAA building was is right near the Dulles airport so planes kind of fly low. It was kind of creepy to be smoking a cigarette and see them flying so low. Scared a couple of new people who were in training that week.

I remember having to evacuate due to bomb threats, or a bakcpack that was left in a hallway. Thing is, and this is also with tornado and fire drills ,that they expected us to file out calmly. Sorry, but if it was obvious and real, true colors would show. Jocks would shove everyone else out of the way, and it'd be chaos. and aot of people would wind up hurt.

One kid here was stupid enough to wear a trenchcoat to school on the anniversary of Columbine. I'm guessing the police didn't like the joke, what with the handcuffs and squad cars and all....

All I've got is my trenchcoat. It's green, though. From the Korean war, 'twas in the "used and abused" section of the surplus shoppe. Of course, I was kicked out of the seventh grade, apparently someone thought I'd threatened to kill another student. I don't recall ever saying anything like that. I simply don't know why everyone thought I was so dangerous. Funny-looking kid with the accent and the nervous twitch that gets picked on a lot? What's he gonna do?

Some idiot called in a bomb threat at college once and the only thing the profs did was to have class outside.

One of the profs told us that the last time a bomb threat had been called in the head of security got so stressed out that he had a heart attack and died. The cops had the threat played on TV and radio so that they could catch who called it in and charge them with manslaughter.

Anyway, it turned out it was a teacher's aide who was calling in the threats, because "everyone was so mean to her"

She was charged with terrorist threats and a bunch of other stuff, while her parents where on the news saying how it wasn't really her fault.

I think that one made international news, because it sounds decidedly familiar.
