Schroeder 0 #1 October 23, 2002 I this is happening _right _ now. I cut and pasted it from ICQ: (btw, I'm Andrew) ----------------------------------------------------------- Andrew (02:02 PM) : MOM, YOU OKAY? Mary (02:02 PM) : Yes, I am okay -just a bit shaken up. Why? What do you know? Andrew (02:02 PM) : that you got a letter from nyc, with white powder. You need to fill me in here. Mary (02:10 PM) : I rec'd a letter from New York - an invoice from a company that a teacher purchased something on the internet from. ANyway, it was inside a US Postal service envelope saying it had been damaged. It was a bit odd. I opened the US postal envelope and took out the other envelope and it felt grainy, but I didn't think anythink of it - maybe it was dropped in something. Anyway, I opened it and a white powder puffed up about 8 inches - I took out the invoice inside and noticed it had a smell to it. I walked across the room and put it to my nose to smell it (Smart, eH) anyway, then I thought - OH - a white powder, I wonder. I went to the principal and told her what happened and she told me to call the Health and Safety officer in Vanderhoof. Well, I couldn't get a hold of her. So I tried Jim Wasylenko, Lynn phoned the School Board office who told her to phone the RCMP. They phoned us back and said that everyone that was in the office at the time should be contained in the office. So after about 1 1/2 hours - this rcmp shows up in a mask and with bags and they bag the letters, etc. Nobody knew what to do. THe rcmp told us they would send ambulances to take us up to the hospital. The ambulance refused to come and get us. Eventually a Sgt. comes and says not to worry that companies down in the states put white powder on envelopes to keep them from sticking together. Well Mr. Friesen was one of the people here and he didn't believe the guy either. But we evacuated the building and I am supposed to go home - everyone else has left except for some kids in the gym waiting for the Tachie bus. I should go though. Did you know it takes 7 days for Anthrax to kill you? ------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
