Yea my bad didn't know this was such a common thing.
Reminds me of when I was in middle school and my future high school had like 3 in a year and turns out they were all fake and the kids who called them in just didnt want to do their senior projects or finals.
I had one at my school too, it was when cell phones were just becoming a thing and he did it so everyone would have an afternoon off or some shit
yeah he got expelled, not the greatest of plans
Wouldn't really call this news, not unless something was actually found. I had tons of bomb threats when I went to school, few of which were actually real.
This def isn't news material. There's probably thousands of school bomb threats daily. It's just a way for little shits to interrupt school with toddler terrorism.
Not news. Happens all the time. If it's real and posed a real threat, then it would be newsworthy.
Otherwise, it is equivalent to "guess what's happening at my school" threads; it shouldn't be posted in the first place.
several years ago, when I was still in middle school (so I wasnt there) there were some people in the high school who were not the best.
The 2 weeks before Christmas, they left papers everyday saying that there was going to be a bombing that day.
which meant for every day of those weeks, school was let out early.
It was all fun and games for those students, until they got expelled and arrested.
and unrelated from that, this year (I was there) we had a bomb threat that stated there will be explosion in a weeks time, etc, etc... the school said there was no worry
When that day came up, we were all in school, and we were suddenly told over the announcements to leave the classrooms immediately and head to the gym without any explanation. pretty much everyone panicked, thinking that there was in fact a bomb in school. It turned out, however, that some idiot broke a gas line by accident, which was still dangerous. but the way to school handled it, on the day of a bomb threat no less, made it much more chaotic than it needed to

"Few of which", as in you had more than one [U]legitimate[/U] bomb incident???
Am I reading this wrong?
My school had like 3 in one year, this is insanely common
I remember back in my day when we made the occasional bomb threat here and there just to get a day off
i had 5 in one week once
they're seriously annoying. i always joked with my friends though, if they legitimatly wanted to blow up people, they'd boobytrap the very minimally secured, easy to collapse foot ball stadium bleachers everyone would evacuate to.

I could make up some bullshit, but I'm not gonna lie, I never did it
Where do you people live where bomb threats are common? That's terrifying.

I know right? I'd never even known this was a legitimate thing until now
My high school gets 1-2 called in every year. There's typically a lockdown where you just sit in a classroom for like 3 hours while the cops check the survelience and question people potentially involved. Pretty alright. Everyone knows it's not real but they still have to do this shit.
I actually found a bomb threat once. I was going to the bathroom when I looked over and saw some graffiti written in pencil that I'd never seen before (the schools in our town typically don't have graffiti, but occasionally there is some before it gets washed off by the Janitors some time later). I was about to read it when a bunch of students came in and saw me reading it. They quickly joined me and was reading it with me and we were like "Holy shit this is a bomb threat." We went to the principal and told him about it, and by the end of the day the bathroom was all closed off. The next day at school we had an assembly where the teachers reassured us that there was in fact no bomb and that they had found the culprit who was now suspended from school. Turns out he did it as a "prank"...
It was a strange situation because not once in my life has our school ever had a bomb threat except that one.
I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I think it's along the lines of "I'm a hero yo, I discovered a bomb threat."
America is really different, huh? Here in Canada I had absolutely no bomb threats at my high school the whole 5 years I was there.

i am in a town/suburb school, but there apparently are a lot of kids on drugs and stuff here, so it makes sense we have this issue. it has come to the point that the school still has school that day the bomb threat states.
It makes me worry if something should be a real threat, it wont be taken seriously, until its too late.
Worst I had at my school was some random guy getting stabbed outside my school, had to have a helicopter ambulance land on the field so they can take the guy to hospital.
never a bomb threat though?
We had a school shooting threat at my school. It was planned for a specific date, and on that date, there were cops very loosely masquerading as not-cops all around the school. The paper thin disguise was hilarious. Like nobody's going to notice a bunch of random pissed looking dudes that nobody's ever seen before standing around at key spots all day long are cops because they have a polo and khakis on.
Anyway, they eventually found out that the threat was all a misunderstanding. The misunderstanding? Someone had misheard two people in the bathroom talking about [I]paintball guns.[/I] They were going to bring their paintball guns to school in their trunks so when they could head out to play later. :v:

keep in mind, bomb threats are still classified as such even if it's a false call. students use this as a way to get out of class, or school, for the day. we had "bomb threats" called every 9 weeks exam, which caused the exams to be postponed. out of all the threats we've had, which were a lot, one was legitimate.

At my junior high when I was younger we normally had the odd thing, be it a bomb threat or someone pulling the fire alarm (everyday for a week in January one year, yay for the gym class), but we actually had some people try to set fire to the back doors of the school. They had to replace a good many of the ceiling tiles in and around the stairwell because of the smoke, and it was rather unpleasant for a while after.
When I was 10 there was also a bomb threat. The only "bomb" for me was that I had no more school the rest of the day. And it was on a friday :v:
I remember during one of my years we had 3 or 4 threats in the span of a month. There were never anymore though.

aha
also i think i recall a single bomb threat during my years at high school. i think it'd be more common in the shithole city i live within the vicinity of though.
We had a kid that was planning on an attack on my school. He had a stock pile of bottles with gasoline, fuses, propane tanks, A machete and a trench coat, and he was attempting to buy a "military assault-style weapon that could hold as many rounds as possible”. He was planning on doing it April 20th, which is when the Columbine shooting took place.
He committed suicide two years later. That was a little over 5 years ago, now.
