its probably that girl that just got arrested from there for "stabbing" her boyfriend.

wtf first a stabing then a bomb threat

Since its not 7pm yet, you may want to adjust the time. The threat occurred shortly before 6pm.

Hey Jonathan, aka, anonymous 6:06 & 6:11, the call came in stating a bomb would go off at 7:00 PM, a-hole.

Scariest situation of my life. Wor Wic security screaming run the F*** to our cars. Half the class left their purses and books in the class.

Man being stuck in that traffic was terrible. I asked a police officer what was going on and he said, "Bomb, keep it moving!" I can't believe this stuff.

Oh my god yes. Tried to turn around and got yelled at by about 3 cops. They weren't telling anyone what was going on. From the other comment I'm glad I wasn't sitting in there. jrh

6:28 That is such a shame. Books and purses can be replaced but lives can't. I hope it was just a hoax and everyone can get their belongings back safely, especially before the blizzard comes. What an inconvenience. Good luck and sorry you were scared. Sounds like security did an excellent job of taking the threat seriously and evacuating the whole campus.

Just shows the current populous. That place is being filled up with thugs and trailer trash. Such a shame it was a great institution. They have got what they asked for. Everybody and their brother is a student now. Including convicted felons, drug dealers and get this GANG Members.

i was there and it was very scary...the note that was found said that the bomb would go off at 7:30. this was the scariest thing that i have ever had to go through. i just hope that they catch whoever did this. i was cooking dinner for a joint county dinner that was supposed to be going on tonight.

6:28 glad everyone made it out safe... crazy they would cause mass hysteria though!

One question to ask here is this:

Have you ever heard of a bomb threat that actually was genuine?

If a bomber is going to blow a place up, he ain't going to tell you in advance ....

Anonymous said...

Sounds like a student had a test tonite and didn't want to take it...on a serious note I hope everyone is ok and they catch the person(s) that caused all this havoc..

Bomb threat was written on a bathroom wall and we all got sent home.

Anonymous said...

Wow someone actually reads the writing on the walls in the bathroom. lmao. Hope everyone is ok.

Security, if they really did evacuate the building like that, could have done it differently. For example request everyone to exit the building immediately, and not cause chaos by the way they did it.

This is because ANYONE can attend Wor-Wic regardless of grades. Even the mentally retarded can take classes if they want to. This is not a joke or a put down, it is fact for community colleges.

Totally agree 9:16...if someone is crazy enough to place a bomb somewhere their not gonna go through all that work and then tell u about it! Tonight was nothing but a big inconvenience for students and people trying to get home from work!

Anonymous said...

They evacuated us by setting off the fire alarms, when we got outside is when we were told to leave immediately. It was total chaos because nobody knew what was going on!

Anonymous said...

The fire alarms and the word passing of a bomb threat made people cause chaos. I work there, I know this!

I cannot believe the idiots posting on here. People saying that WWCC is going down the tubes? It is a college. Everyone can choose to educate themselves. Who are you to judge who can and who cannot better themselves?

I agree, its called a bomb threat. And most are not credible. Why would they warn you? Wouldn't that defeat their sick purpose?

And to say that the Security wasn't real security because they didn't get peoples purses? (At least I think that is what you meant-you're grammar isn't the best.) Real security was worried about the people-you know, lives, that cannot be replaced, ever.

If you check the Wor-Wic website...they have designated areas for everyone to pick up their belongings.

I could have sworn the locals told me that this sort of thing didnt happen here. "Its quiet, has a high quality of life, and everyone is really friendly". Who are they trying to fool? I have yet to find any of these self proclaimed descriptions even remotely true. Ignorance is what rules this place. You'll never know its different anywhere else, because all those ppl that make these statements havent lived anywhere else, some great perspective there. Small town, incredibly small minds.

Wow, I couldn't agree more with that assessment unless I wrote it myself!

Someone probably wasn't prepared for an assignment and decided this was the best way out. I've already had my class canceled twice this semester on account of blizzards and this. I'm pretty close to asking for a refund because I'm sure not learning anything!
