Suspected car bomb in Copenhagen - CANCELLED
« on: August 06, 2013, 09:15:35 »
Right now there is a helicopter hovering over Copenhagen as police has discovered a suspected car bomb - a parked van with wires sticking out. A friend of mine just posted a photo of the scene on Facebook as he works nearby - naturally I hope it's not a bomb and that nobody gets hurt, but the relevance for posting this here is that the photo shows a white Pagoda and a silver R107 parked right next to the parking area that is currently being investigated by the bomb squad...

Will keep you posted

The people in the area have been evacuated - otherwise I wouldn't be overly concerned about the cars...

A second (red) Pagoda is also parked next to the parking cellar (what are the odds?), all people in the area are now evacuated and the news are showing photos of a dark red VW Golf with wires, batteries and other oddities

Emergency cancelled - it turned out the all the contraptions on the car were part of a scientific experiment when the police got hold of the owner of the car...
Phewww!

PS: Simon - D'Angleterre is now finally refurbed - rare, classic and exotic cars are as always encouraged to park on the sidewalk next to the entrance ;-)
