So it became more obvious that it was a bomb scare. Then all of the college buidings and waves i think were evacuated
There was a package on the stairwell( so we had probably all boody walked past it- nice)
along with two mobile phones
it happened at 1:30
the bomb squad turned up at about 4:15 :O
just a bummer having to wait around but nothing dead exciting lol

Why don't you all work on the ground floor?

I think this proves that the powers that be consider Blackburn a high risk target

Maybe they didn't have time to set up diversions but it must have been chaotic. It's bad enough round there at the best of times.

Far better that they should err on the side of caution than ignore it and people get hurt or killed.
