POLICE ALERT: Semi "Packed with Explosives" might be heading to Orlando
2006-09-03
Authorities in the state of Florida are actively searching for a tractor-trailer that is reportedly loaded with an unknown amount of explosive material. According to police sources, a man notified the crisis center in Georgia and said the tractor-trailer is “packed with explosives” and is traveling to Orlando.

The tractor-trailer is being described as “brown with an eagle painted on its side,” according to police, who confirmed the report and are presently attempting to verify the veracity of the report. No further description of the truck or driver or information is currently available. Updates will be provided as developed.

Police urge anyone with information on the truck to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS or the nearest police station.

NOTE: Our last HQ INTEL-ALERT Private Intelligence Report issued a warning about trucks being used as Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs) and the rise of truck thefts in North America.

#5  This might not be the big one but something like this is going to happen eventually. PS: My mom and dad live in Orlando. This isn't something to snark about.

#3  Could this possibly be a fake rumor? Puh-leez.

The linked site says that it is a Stratfor wannabe run by ex-private investigators. Call me crazy, but private investigators are usually self-promoting flimflam men full of themselves.
