NYPD Say Empire State Building Bomb Threat a False Alarm

NYPD Say Empire State Building Bomb Threat a False Alarm

By Yehudit Garmaise 

    The NYPD found a bomb threat to be a false alarm after someone called 911 just after 11 a.m. and claimed that a bomb would go off at the Empire State Building today at noon.

    The NYPD’s bomb squad immediately responded to the scene and determined the threat to be unfounded, according to the NYPD, which has said it has been keeping an eye on “critical communication infrastructure locations” in the city after a recreational vehicle (RV) exploded on Second Ave. North in Downtown Nashville.

    The bomb in Nashville detonated in front of an AT & T building that was demolished, along with 41 other places of business, by the blast and has left the city’s resident’s without phone or Internet transmission. 

   Federal investigators have been investigating Anthony Quinn Warner at whose home the RV that exploded had been parked in Antioch, Tenn.

  Warner, a 63-year-old computer expert, possibly detonated his RV outside the AT&T building to hamper local cell phone service because of his paranoia about 5G technology and alleged government eavesdropping.

   The blast took place on a street that was closed and mostly empty at 6:30am, however, Warner might have been inside the RV at the time it exploded, as some human remains have been found.

   Fifteen minutes before the blast, a pop song played, followed by an eerily recorded warning of a woman’s voice advised people nearby the RV to evacuate.
