Hope it’s a false alarm and not a terrorist attack

@caron213 a bit of both

Please stop making stupid comments. I have a very good friend who works there as a civilian. I don't care who's fault it is. Be part of the solution or just be quiet. Many civilians plus all the military personnel, noone should be fearful for simply going to work.
