Suspicious Powder in an Envelope Hits Reuters |
|
I shared this via Google Reader, but I know a lot of you out there don't use it so I figured I'd do the double share. This article ran on Gothamist Yesterday: Last week, the police investigated the NY Times building after a letter with a suspicious white powder (later found to be harmless) was delivered to editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal. This afternoon, Reuters editor Brian Rhoads opened an envelope and a "puff of powder" came out. Reuters reported that Rhoads was isolated and "140 members of staff [were told] to leave as a precautionary measure while they investigate." Who's next--the AP? Or the Wall Street Journal--or one of the tabloids? Like the NY Times, Reuters is located in Times Square, at 3 Times Square.
If proper research had been done, it would've been noted that the AP can't be next because uh, we already had an Anthrax scare last year. A package came into the photo department with white powder and Hazmat was here investigating the thing. Meanwhile, nobody was allowed to leave the floor. If anyone's keeping track, we also had a bomb scare last November. |
