Chinatown Bomb Scare

When was the last time you saw no one walking around Chinatown street right in the middle of the day??

Bomb Squad was called in today right in the middle of the day, and the whole area was evacuated, and I was waiting to get my haircut half block away, and needless to say, I got kicked out. So I ran as fast as I can back to my car and grabbed the camera, too bad I left my long lens home today, stupid me.......you know, i sure want to be there to catch "the action" if something actually happened, but of course I was not able to get back in the scene, even the TV reporters were not able to get behind the police yellow line. After 3 hours, the area was finally cleared, and they did found a "suspicious package" but they refused to tell the reporter what that was, the "suspicious package" was then transport in the special "Bomb proved" container, you can see that in one of the picture, it was my first time seeing the Bomb dismantle robot at work in person.
