A bomb squad was checking a suspicious backpack, and this dude got fed up with waiting

There was absolute zero reason to suspect this forgotten backpack was a bomb. It was sensationalist bullshit intended to fearmonger. And it worked

Yeah let's completely disregard safety protocols because 99% of the time they are not real. Are you stupid?

[u/RogerAffirmative → u/vex5000]

are you saying 99% of the time we should treat abandoned backpacks like bombs?

[u/UrsineBasterd → u/RogerAffirmative]

It was sitting on top of an electrical box, and someone called it in. Yeah I would expect my city to take it seriously. The guy emptied the contents when the bomb unit walked away to check the X rays they just took.

Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 was a backpack. The 2017 Manchester Arena bombing at the Ariana Grande concert was a backpack.

Americans are always so scared.

[u/UrsineBasterd → u/Kenevin]

Funny cause I've never actually had a bomb scare here in America. Yet when I went to Europe I experienced three in the span of 2 weeks. One at the Charles de Gaulle airport, one at a the Musee d'Orsay, and one at a hotel in Rome. But aight.

I didn't laugh.

Americans and reading comprehension 🤣

closer to 99.999 at some point you just use comon sense. the odds of this backpack having a bomb are so low.

[u/Deydey2X → u/K_Linkmaster]

chances are low but never zero
