Now They’re Bombing FedEx
Now bombs are going off and being found in FedEx facilities.
Early this morning, a bomb that was bound for Austin exploded at a FedEx facility in Schertz, Texas. One person was injured by the “concussive” impact of the blast.
It happened just after midnight, according to a report from the Washington Post, but authorities provided few other details.
Then, later this morning, authorities responded to a call about a suspicious package at a FedEx facility near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Southeast Austin.
That is a developing story, and we Austinites are still waiting to hear what the Austin FedEx situation brings.
FedEx: When it positively, absolutely has to blow up near Austin overnight.
Hey, I can joke about this, I live here.
What is no joke is that authorities are being very tightlipped so as not to tip their hands re: the signature of the bomber, but because of this, and despite their being 500+ federal agents on the ground, the public knows jack and is getting antsy.
It’s one thing to pick up a strange package on your porch and have it blow up. It’s another thing for it to be a package from FedEx.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Could this, in fact, be a Unabomber, Jr., one out to demonstrate how vulnerable our 21st century retail, e-commerce, and delivery chain really is?!
