Utah IRS Building Evacuated

Filed in National by on March 1, 2010

I hope this is a hoax and not something worse:

Hazardous materials crews were on the scene Monday at the IRS building in Farr West, Utah, where two people were removed on stretchers and several others were undergoing decontamination showers.

The FBI released no information about the incident at the facility in Farr West, near Ogden about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, but local reports suggested that a suspicious white powder may have been found in mail delivered to the facility.

There is very little information at this time.

    The Strange World Of Dr. Anthrax

    thesmokinggun.com ^
    The Strange World Of Dr. Anthrax Ivins was bondage- and sorority-obsessed cross-dressing Yankee hater MARCH 1–After the Department of Justice last month formally closed its probe of the 2001 anthrax attacks, the FBI released the first batch of documents detailing the years-long investigation that ended with officials concluding that Bruce Ivins, a government scientist who committed suicide in July 2008, was responsible for the mailings that killed five victims. The records, released pursuant to Freedom of Information Act requests, portray Ivins as becoming increasingly unhinged as it became clear that he was the principal target of the FBI’s “Amerithrax” probe….

    Lone nut. Nothing to see here folks. Move along now.

  8. Joanne Christian says:

    “My sources” tell me, all is well. False alarm–and the stretchers leaving were just a coincidence of 2 people having health problems unrelated to the false alarm.

  9. Yes, it’s being reported now that the 2 people taken out in stretchers is unrelated. I think that raises the likelihood that the unknown substance is someone pulling a hoax.

    Hilarious. Like dressing up like a pimp only not dressing up like a pimp and telling everyone on you dressed up like a pimp.
