Sounds like someone called in a bomb threat to the ISU police at the Durham Center plus in his room tonight. ISU alert system was very slow and most people found out about it on the Yik Yak app. Weird stuff
The excuse is always "we don't want to create a mass panic if we don't have all the facts"Rumors on the twitterverse/other social media say that the alert went out a solid half hour after it was originally reported
Yeah that is not very smart. Risking your life for the Iowa State Daily means you don't have your priorities straight.Some ISU Daily reporter escorted off the scene. What a dumb *** for even going there.
Has a viable bomb ever been found after a bomb threat?
Serious question. I'd think if someone wanted to successfully bomb something, they'd do it with out warning. That and every bomb threat I've heard of, especially at an academic institution, has yielded no type of actual explosive device.

I've been around 2 bomb threats, one in high school and one in college. Both involved someone that was not prepared for a test/presentation that day. The one in college was a kid on the verge of failing out and did not prepare for his test and a bad grade would have sealed failing that class for that semester. Rumor was he called in bomb threat because he didn't want to have to tell his parents he got kicked out due to grades at end of semester but instead got kicked out due to bomb threat. Genius!
One in high school was a kid that did not have a presentation done and called in bomb threat right before that period. He called in the bomb threat from a public phone we had right next to the nurses office. Funny part was they had just put up a camera on it because there were kids prank calling from that phone the last month. He spent the rest of the year having in school suspension. This happened during his senior year when he wasn't on track to graduate anyways. Needless to say at graduation he got a certificate of attendance instead of a diploma.
But neither obviously ended up with a device and both were the "plan" of two idiots.

Dont worry guys, the Mystery Machine is at the commuter lot. They will get to the bottom of this.
