Package Detonated - NY Sheraton Hotel

[CookieGVB]

We just received an email from the building managers:

Please be advised that 52nd Street and Seventh Avenue (from 51st to 54 Streets) are temporarily closed. Police are currently investigating a suspicious package that was found in one of the floors of Sheraton Hotel (7th Avenue, between 52nd & 53rd Streets).

Our office manager attached a note:

Attached is a communication that we received from the Building. The suspicious package was detonated by the NY Police and they have reopened Seventh Avenue for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The building has informed us that there is no reason to evacuate the building.

We heard a boom about 15 minutes ago...Of course, none of this is on any of the news sites yet...

So, either it was a bomb, or they just blew someone's underwear up Seventh Avenue!

Bob are you saying there was lemonade on the underwear?

That's scary. I vote for someone having their lunch detonated

 

[cotye]

Yikes!! That would've had me running for the exit!!! Glad to hear things are ok though.

The thought of someones underware flying everywhere is just too funny.

I'm glad you're safe, Cookie!!

My first thought about it being someone's lunch, is that it was some VERY potent Chilli!!!

Let's hope someone's "tightie-whities" were sent into orbit..... Glad you're okay!!

OMG that is where we stayed a couple months ago, hope everyone is ok

 

[luvwinnie]

haven't heard about it anywhere

 

[CookieGVB]

I don't think it ever made the news...they were talking about a bomb scare on the GW Bridge, though.

It's very odd...but believe me, the word "detonated" got my attention!
