Well today was interesting, around the LRT station at University there were at least 4 fire trucks, a few police cars, and an ambulance along with fire line tape around the station building and bus stop. A girl on the bus told me that some "questionable and potentially dangerous substances" had been found in the LRT station, so I'm assuming HazMat is checking it out. Just before the bus pulled away I noticed some firemen putting on the oxygen masks and stuff, presumably to venture into the building.
I'd like to thank the US for causing every country to now assume that any white powder (ususally turning out to be Tide, sugar, or salt) may be a lethal virus intent on wiping out mankind in that particular locale. But for all I know it may turn out to be a truely hazardous material and I'll have to eat crow.
