Things like this happen all the time at the U.S. I remember how we had to evacuate my school a few times in my school years when someone said something about a bomb being in the school. Sometimes it isn't a bomb threat but a fire alarm instead. The last time it happened in my life some idiot pulled the fire alarm because he thought it was funny. Let's see how funny it is now that your in jail! I don't know what the penalty is for doing this but I know it's a felony.

Status : Offline | I've had a couple of hoax bomb evacuations in my time - I think we all have.
When I was in high school in the 1970s the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland were in full flight and we had practice bomb evacuations every term. So everyone was well drilled in getting onto the playing field in an orderly manner.
Even so, despite the constant IRA bombs, we felt safe because they didn't target children and they always gave a phone warning before their bombs went off. No one carried a gun, kids didn't slaughter their classmates, and no one knew how to build a bomb because the internet hadn't been invented yet.
The terrorists on the news were into plane hijacking and even then, they used to let the hostages go and just blow up the empty planes. Simpler times.

The reason for the early dismissal was never disclosed until that evening, but I got out of taking three exams that day.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!!!
