"East Contra Costa County residents are being evacuated from an area near the unincorporated town of Knightsen because of a possible explosive device found inside of a residential motor home."</p>

<p>Motor homes and explosive devices? Who could've imagined!? Anyway, that's all the info posted so far. We'll update as soon as more info becomes available.</p>

<p><strong>Update</strong>: <a href="http://cbs5.com/local/knightsen.explosive.evacautions.2.593518.html">Taken (again!) from CBS 5</a>: "Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said the device was found about 1:30 p.m. on Broadway by a man who said the device looked like dynamite.The bomb squad from the Walnut Creek Police Department responded and residents within a 1-mile radius of Broadway were ordered to evacuate."</p>

<p>Emergency telephone alert calls were made to "220 residents" living in the area, and the evacuees were sent to Delta Vista Middle School.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[UPDATE: eBay HQ Evacuated]]></title><description><![CDATA[EBay's company headquarters on Hamilton Avenue in San Jose, California has just been evacuated due to a suspicious looking package]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2007/11/14/ebay_evacuated/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5c24284244ad066cdcf4d96a</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[bomb]]></category><category><![CDATA[California]]></category><category><![CDATA[eBay]]></category><category><![CDATA[evacuated]]></category><category><![CDATA[Halloween]]></category><category><![CDATA[people]]></category><category><![CDATA[San Jose]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brock Keeling]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 14 Nov 2007 13:45:29 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry133432_thumb-thumb-640xauto-168916.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry133432_thumb-thumb-640xauto-168916.jpg" alt="UPDATE: eBay HQ Evacuated"><p><strong>Update:</strong> The "bomb squad determined the parcel was harmless," and all employees are back at work, helping to deliver us our three bottles of <a href="http://www.ysl-m7.com/">YSL M7</a>. (M7 gets pulled off the  U.S. market, but Drakkar Noir manages to thrive year after year. We live in a fucked up world, people.)</p>

<p>EBay's company headquarters on Hamilton Avenue in San Jose, California has just been evacuated due to a suspicious looking package. </p>

<p>The 200+ employees at the online auction's HQ have all been escorted out, the bomb squad escorted in. "<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN1422012220071114">One suspicious package was discovered. We immediately evacuated the mailroom...the building remains evacuated at this point</a>," said eBay spokesman Hani Durzy, according to Reuters. </p>

<p>If you remember last year, during Halloween night, <a href="http://ebay.bloggingstocks.com/2006/11/02/bomb-explodes-at-ebays-paypal-headquarters-on-halloween-night/">a bomb went ka-pow over at eBay's PayPal headquarters</a>, so with good read they're taking today's threat very seriously. </p>

<p>We'll have more info later. Yipes!</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
