As of 4AM Eastern Standard Time this morning, there have been 62 bomb threats at University of Pittsburgh. University of Pittsburgh is less than a mile away from CMU.
And last night one of the buildings evacuated was a block away from where I live. The threats keep getting closer and closer.
The threats started back in February, but the threats have escalated in the past few weeks.
If you don't know, the Western Psych shooting was when a man went into the hospital near Pitts campus and started shooting.
As of yet, there have been no actual bombs. And as far as I know, no one has been injured.
But they cannot catch this person or persons. The threats get sent in through email and all attempts to trace it back to the source have failed because it gets lost or something. I don't know. Even the FBI is all like "fuck idk"
I don't understand. But I can't even imagine how terrifying it is must be to be a Pitt Student.
In an attempt to lighten the mood, here's a song:
That is terrifying. They have no idea why these threats are even being made? O-o
ReplyDeleteDude woah I totally heard about this on Reddit a while back (when the numbers were still in the 30s or whatever) and I was like "man I wonder if that's close to Rachel," and I hadn't really heard anything about it since then so I thought it died down...
ReplyDeleteObviously not.
That's super terrifying though. I am so glad you chose to go to CMU right now...
As far as I can tell, someone is just screwing with Pitt, but I don't know man. Like maybe they want to have the semester end early or something. But we on;y have 3 weeks until finals so Pitt has to have even less.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah Amy, me too.
DANG! What's it at right now? Have things calmed down at all?
