Explosion at Yale Law School
2003-05-21
Breaking news...no link yet. CNN reports an explosion at Yale Law School apparently in the mail room, with possible partial collapsed floor. POTUS was speaking in New London today at Coast Guard Academy, Yale is in New Haven CT.

#4  Instapundit also has a link to the Yale newspaper online edition, that has a bit more information. Link is http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=22881

#3  Instapundit mentioned steam vents in the building. Its possible the column of smoke is just escaping steam.

#2  I read that a column of smoke can be seen from a distance. Sounds like a pretty big boom to me...

#1  Mail to the Bush daughters would likely be diverted before reaching the mail room.

I vote for "not terror".

School's out and college students ship stuff home, including stuff that maybe ought not to go into the mail.

And, finals are over, grades out. College students go berserk every year about this time at their colleges. Look at the Case-Western shooting recently.

If the next day sees more, I'm wrong. Else, I vote for something that shouldn't have been mailed, or a disgruntled student.
