So on Monday (sept 13) during work I passed by what looked like a Police action in a strip mall along Markham Rd, North of Finch in Toronto, Ontario. There were a LOT of Toronto Police cars and other trucks. But of course having seen this sort of stuff before and trying to get my load of cargo delivered, I pushed on pass and didn't stop to look around.
Good thing I did keep on moving. Because about ten min later another of my fellow drivers was stopped and redirected away from the Markham rd location where the police suspected a car bomb to be. My friend was diverted during the evacuation order by the police... it took him 1:30 min to get to where I was and had driven in 15min. Talk about good timing on my part.
The van as it turned out was not a bomb, but an attempt at an alternative fuel source... but what the heck, if it was a bomb how much damage would it have done, to the propane storage facility, the fuel station and even the rail station down the way? I was could have been so very close to being part of the news instead of avoiding it.
I just wonder what would have happened to the towing company who moved the van who has lots of parking tickets to that location without even checking to see ... WTF
