Bomb scare?

bombthreat.jpg
It sounds like something Boris & Natasha would make up -- a devious plan to blow up a corner of Hollywood that includes a shopping center, a fabulous bar, and a major Hollywood/West Hollywood thoroughfare. Rumors are flying that a passenger boarded a bus near La Brea and Santa Monica and handed the driver a note saying he had a bomb in his bag. Some say traffic has ground to a halt for the fire trucks and bomb squad; others say everything is normal. We're not sure, but we want you to know that the anti-Speed may be happening even as we type. Someone put a call in to Keanu -- or add your two cents to the rumor mill.

definitely true: a friend and I were driving east on santa monica around 3:30 and traffic was blocked from poinsetta to highland (10 blocks or more.) we saw a bus on the side of the santa monica, as well as an armored bomb unit sheriff's truck. emergency vehicles were everywhere and still arriving. we were diverted north on poinsetta and continued east on fountain until highland.

I was there this afternoon. There was a bus that was stopped and some sort of commotion, with several sheriffs and firetrucks.
