Police say it could have been a blown bus tire, or construction noise that caused the sound of an explosion in downtown Seattle.
But spokeswoman Renee Witt says inspections by officers, the bomb squad and a bomb dog found no evidence of a blast this morning in a Seattle parking garage.

Witt says an earlier report of a hole in the structure was incorrect.

An explosion was reported just before 6 a.m. by the driver of a Metro bus passing the garage at Second Avenue and Union Street. Nearby streets were closed for a time for the investigation.

Witt says the bus driver later reported that a tire had blown out. She says there also was a report of something falling at a construction site.

Standard reply. When we get the nuke or EMP they will assure us it is absolutely NOT terrorism......I guess they have to keep panic to a minimum:thinking

Yup, Willow I agree. And yet, they don't mind using economic crises to create a virtual panic--especially of they think that it might benefit the ONE and his presidential campaign.

uhhh...opps...no wonder why they mistaken it for something else.

DerRickster, you have to excuse yourself afterward, or otherwise they will think the explosion was something more nefarious than gas. Of course, some of this "gas" can be quite nefarious!

OK, it's time to get this thread back to the OP. BUMP!
