#1 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A lockdown at Kirtland Air Force Base turned out to be triggered by the sound of bubble wrap popping that was mistaken for gunfire.

The military base went into lockdown Wednesday afternoon for about 45 minutes along with some neighboring public schools following reports of gunshots near a building on the west side of the base.

Base Director of Public Affairs Eric Elliott says the popper confessed to creating the commotion when bursting sandwich bag-sized air pockets.

#9 My daughter was 6 years old when we went to Ireland in 1983. We were in a post office in Derry mailing some cards while she was trying to open a bag of Sam Spudz potato crisps (potato chips) when she accidentally popped it with a loud POP! People freaked out until they saw the raining crisps around the little girl.

#10 #1 given what goes on just north of the base, its improbable but not impossible to be literally within earshot of a drive by.
