There were injuries.

Possibly an accident. Bomb squads and ambulances are on the way, however.

Ahem... Does that look like the scene after a "corroded battery failure"

You'd think a terminal had exploded or something.

Another thing...

werd..Why is ABC affiliate ABC7 in LA reporting "massive LAPD response" if there is nothing but a bomb scare at this point, or a mismatched bag??

uh, news from washington DC...as i was mowing the lawn today, i saw a helicopter...not that this would be out of the ordinary on most day, but for what it's worth, this was the presidential chopper...w/ the crest and it says US president or some BS on the side...so maybe this is something bigger then a battery explosion?

LA Times has just updated their story to contradict the Homeland Security denial of no explosion. They are confirming the "flashlight battery explosion" at this point.

Saw it on CNN.Batteries exploded in a flashlight. One lady was sent to the hospital. Thats about it, besides terminals being shut down or something.

Seriously. Everyone is so damn afraid of everything, they freak out over stupid ****. Three terminals were evacuated for an old battery and some guy who decided to run up a down escalator... rediculous.
