craigdritchie Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Detroit Lakes Online reports that Brunswick’s Lund and Crestliner plant in New York Mills, MN, was evacuated Tuesday afternoon after receiving a bomb threat. According to the story, published yesterday, NY Mills Police Chief Jim Van Schaick explains “At 1:27 p.m., a 911 call was placed and a male caller said ‘There is a bomb in the factory,’ and hung up.” The building was evacuated immediately, and searched by police. No bomb was found, and production resumed the following day.

Radnine Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) The Crestliner side would have been fine, the force of the blast would have been deflected off of the welded hull. The other side though....rivets everywhere. It wouldn't have been pretty. It could force some people out of the dark ages though and into a proper boat.

Jim Not true......I have a friend that works there and he said someone was upset and wanted to develop a new "Smoker Craft" fishing boat in retaliation.

Roy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 A bomb threat is a cowardly, terrorist crime. While I understand some peoples' reaction to fear, I don't think it's really anything to joke about. But hey, that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonka-toy Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I thought the jokes quite good and since no bomb was found i even laughed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I Think the point Roy was making, is that in this world we have become aclimatized to this type of thing happening every day, and that we should remember that an idle bomb threat is still that...a threat, and therfore a terrorist act.
