At around 2 p.m., Surrey RCMP’s explosives unit was dispatched to a section of the Expo Line after a passenger reported seeing a suspicious red canister on the line midway between the Scott Road and Gateway stations. When the unit arrived, they found three empty tanks strapped to a small red canister, with straps and wires sticking out of the bundle, according to transit police spokeswoman Anne Drennan “When you looked down on the device you could see what appeared to be some sort of red canister; it looked like possibly a fire extinguisher or an oxygen tank,” Drennan said. The unit removed the entire contraption in an explosive safe container and will dismantle it, keeping the tanks for forensic testing and evidence, Drennan said. The device itself will be blown up for safety reasons. There are no suspects at this point in what was the first explosive device ever found on TransLink property Drennan said. “We have no idea how the device was placed there; it is possible physically for it to have been thrown up on the track but we don’t know that’s what happened and we don’t know how long it was there,” Drennan said. “We are asking anybody who had seen anything suspicious to give Transit police a call.” The discovery led TransLink to stop running trains between Scott Road and Gateway stations — with a bus bridge running between the two stations— until 5:30 p.m. Roughly six hours after the device was discovered, an RCMP bomb disposal unit was also dispatched to Metrotown station in Burnaby when a TransLink attendant found another suspicious object outside the east entrance. The object was “slightly hidden” up against a concrete wall near the station entrance and was found during sweeps of all stations in the system. But by 10 p.m., investigators had confirmed that the device was not explosive. “It turns out that it was a length of drainage pipe with some heavy gauge plastic wrapped up inside and metal pieces on the end,” Drennan said. TransLink continued SkyTrain service without stopping at Metrotown Station until the item was fully examined, and in the interim, shuttle buses moved people between Patterson, Metrotown and Royal Oak SkyTrain stations. Drennan added that police on Friday also checked out a paint can left in an “odd spot” at the Gilmore SkyTrain station in Burnaby. That turned out to be harmless as well. She said the false alarms were to be expected because of the “heightened vigilance” of transit employees following the discovery of explosives in Surrey. “This is not unusual after something like this happens. Everyone is on high alert,” Drennan said. “Everyone is out there doing their jobs.” [/quote] [url=http://www.vancouversun.com/news/thewest/Makeshift+bomb+found+SkyTrain+tracks+Surrey+second+suspicious+object+confirmed+explosive/7491331/story.html]**SOURCE**[/url] [url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/rcmp-investigating-after-vancouver-area-skytrain-bomb-scare-1.1023128]**VIDEO HERE**[/url] Dammit, I screw around on the system all the time.

Wow, that would have been quite a tragedy. [sp]MIPS, Facepunch's official Vancouver news provider[/sp]

Confused me as to whether this was UK or US. Glad they found it though.

oh it's surrey canada... INDICATE COUNTRY IN THE TITLE PLEASE.

[QUOTE=AK'z;38302504]oh it's surrey canada... INDICATE COUNTRY IN THE TITLE PLEASE.[/QUOTE] Thats like asking Americans to indicate their country in the title, it won't happen because they simply think they're majority.

[QUOTE=Aspen;38302525]americans arent the only ones with subway/elevated rail systems genius[/QUOTE] That isn't what I said though. His post asked to indicate the country in the title, because Americans usually think they're majority thus it applies to them if not otherwise stated.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38302618]The majority of FP is from the US[/QUOTE] Pretty sure US only has 40% and the rest of the world takes 60%. You're getting into technicalities that have no bearing on anything I said, do you disagree with me? Because that is just what I observe from Americans on FP. I don't know why people are agreeing with him when he clearly did not read anything I said. Typical.

[QUOTE=Aspen;38302762]lol[/QUOTE] its true, since when do you ever see Americans indicate their country next to city/state in the title even though it can conflict with other nations? they don't because they think they're majority.

Stupid can be used as an insult.

I heard about this last night from a friend on facebook. Good thing I don't cross into Surrey when on my way to college.

[QUOTE=Bobie;38303609]holy shit i had a dream about a bomb on some train tracks and the station looked exactly like that picture coincidence??? yes probably[/QUOTE] Are you implying that you are somehow behind this whole scandal?

There were bomb threats over at Metro station as well.

[QUOTE=gamefreek76;38303824]Are you implying that you are somehow behind this whole scandal?[/QUOTE] usually i would joke and say yes, but knowing the UK internet police i would probably get arrested

[QUOTE=Bobie;38303609]holy shit i had a dream about a bomb on some train tracks and the station looked exactly like that picture coincidence??? yes probably[/QUOTE] you were drugged and brainwahsed to commit the bombing.
