Bomb threats do still happen
Numerous Bomb threats happen for a huge variety of reasons. Although they are not very common, they still do happen.For example, a few weeks ago a student has called in and faked a bomb threat. Why? Because he did not want to meet his parents. Or the time a man wanted to annoy his wife after an argument.Whatever the reason might be for this threat, we do hope nobody gets hurt in this incident.Source
