Westfield Woden bomb scare

Close call. It’s actually Murray, but you would never have guessed it.

By the way, I think we adopt this style of hijacking topics on JB’s new site…

im confused

I have a Murray cod, too, Thumper… Guess what it’s called?

How does it taste?

Somebody caught Singing Trout with a backpack full of goat eggs. They had to call on the genetically modified gerkhin to open a can of whoop-ass.

Something more serious may be a cause here.

Over the past week, 3 St George banks have had theirs comms systems sabotaged. ( Cut cables in comms rooms where only 2 keys can get access and both were accounted for! )
As some may have noticed, the Civic branch and a few others were unable to provide any services because all their systems were down. Now Woden was not affected… until this bomb scare…. 😉

The sydney morning herald has a short article about it Here.

Hi everyone,

I was thinking the same thing until I squeezed a mate of mine in security (who was rubbing shoulders with the police) for some information about the scare – and he says they actually found a small pipe bomb – i assume when the statement was made on the news that “the item poses no risk to the public” it is because they defused it?

Les Whinin, I tend to agree.

emd, if it is indeed a Westfield drill, I wonder if the friendly landlords will be compensating their tenants for loss of business…

Of course, the natural progression for a terrorist target is WTC, Pentagon, Bali nightclub strip, Woden Plaza.

Excuse me for appearing blazé about this obviously newsworthy event, but I’m sure this “suspicious package” is no more harmful than a dog turd in a lit brown paper bag.

I read on another internet forum that it’s just a Westfield drill taken to the extreme. But that’s completely baseless rumour – who knows if it’s true?
They were also talking about it on 666 but I wasn’t really listening and don’t have a radio at my desk.
