So, i went back to work at 5pm like any day i work a split shift (Apprentice chef).
15 minutes after i got to work a waitress came into the kitchen and said there were a heap of coppers, firemen and ambos in the street, and that they had cordoned off the area for about a kilometer square. i didnt think much of it, maybe a car accident or a fire. half an hour after only 5 customers had come in (opposed to the usual fifty or so we get by that time), i went out to talk to a copper doing a patrol up and down the street, he said we were supposed to have been evacuated 10 minutes after the police arrived......but the police didnt contact the restaraunt in any way, nobody came in to tell us what was going on, didnt get a phone call. nada.
one of our customers claimed she knew what was going on and told me that a suspicious looking guy with a big backpack had tried to get on a bus, and one of the ladies working in the station had called the cops, the fella claimed it was a bomb. so everyone freaked out.
i work at hogsbreath, inside the blue area.
the bomb is in mccafferties/greyhound bus station across the street towards the north in the red
and the bank that got robbed not 10 minutes before is another street over, connected by bell street mall. in the green
