OP
I wonder if this procedure operates differently when a home is filled with pipe bombs.

There was an update a few minutes ago that there will NOT be a controlled explosion now.

Some field engineer left his breifcase/toolbox outside the side door of the bank across the street from where I worked and someone thought it could be a bomb.
They brought in this armored vehicle with what looked like a tank hatch on top. They put the box in the hatch and a few seconds later there was a dull thud and the show was over.

(14,626 posts)6. Interesting.
I wonder if it is because there were less pipe bombs than expected.
I hear the stay inside order was lifted too.

My wife lost sleep last night over this. I will probably be up until the wee hours.
