Working at a university, bomb threats are not unheard of. Every once in
a while during final or mid-term exams, a bomb threat is reported for
one of the classroom buildings. Gee! I wonder why that happens! When I
was a student, We had to evacuate class twice during exams due to bomb
threats, and that was something like 20 years ago. It gets old real
quickly, but so do all the false fire alarms in my building. Ironically,
just this week, we had to evacuate for a real fire. There was a small
fire on an elevator in my building. It was quickly extinguished by the
fire company, but we were out of the building for half an hour and no
one was injured.
