I would be lying if I tell ya that everytime I take the subway I feel at complete ease............ I don't. Eversince all this bomb crap been happening in England, can never get it out of your head that it is something that could happen here.

You see a bag unattended, what do you do? It happens so many times, but this time, do you do something?

Time to win the lottery and work from home heheh.

Sorry, I didn't have access to a computer until today. But I've been wanting to post this.

I was there! Waiting at Bloor Station when a guy yells out "PLEASE EVACUATE THE STATION. EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEAVE THE STATION NOW." It was chaotic and there was no TTC personnel on hand to guide anyone out of the station. Parents were yelling at their kids to run and don't look back. Children were crying and yelling for their mommy. It was surreal. Everyone was in shock. I didn't even know if I should follow the people out of the subway or just wait. Finally I decided to move with the crowd. And it wasn't even until I walked to Yonge and College that I saw a police officer who confirmed that there was a bomb threat.

If it had been the real thing...I'm afraid of what may have happened. I felt it was very disorganized and many people in the area could have been injured. Thank goodness it was only a hoax. :eek:
