I don't know whether to take the apparent sophistication of the device as a good or bad sign.

 

[Xyrmellon]

The U.S. incident with the pizza guy inspired the movie "30 minutes or Less" that's coming out this month. You know, cause that whole situation with the guys head blowing off was so funny.

 

[Meadows]

Is this still ongoing?

 

[snoopen]

Is this still ongoing?

Yes, situation described by police as 'ongoing' and 'delicate' appealing to public for information, hope the girl is okay

 

[fierrotlepou]

What the fuck?

 

[ComputerMKII]

Where's Batman when we need him?

 

[trinest]

Is this still ongoing?

Yeah apparently, live updates on Ten news tonight so I assume so.

 

[Chuckie]

Where's Batman when we need him?

Well that particular Batman is probably in the Blue Oyster with Robin.

 

[mrkgoo]

Where's Batman when we need him?

Isn't that kind of tasteless considering what happened in the last movie concerning a girl and a bomb?

But holy crap at the situation. What the Hell is going on?!

 

[Salazar]

Where's Batman when we need him?

Save it until we hear positive news. Bit tasteless.

 

[Lafazar]

I hate to be that guy, but have you considered the possibility that the girl made the story up and attached the bomb to herself? She herself called the police, so she is the only witness...

I haven't seen it.

News conference live in 12 mins (10.30pm), police still urging public for information so it isn't over.

Really?

Dude what the fuck, how would an 18 year old female high school student build/get her hands on a sophisticated explosive device and then why would she do this? Illogical.

 

[SneakyStephan]

SMH@people wanting to see a live stream of this.

Either nothing will happen, or you will see/hear an explosion live with comment outside the house in which someone dies.
What is wrong with your fucked up heads to want to witness that.

 

[Lafazar]

Really?

Well of course I'm sorry for her if she is indeed the victim here, but I don't think you can be sure what really happened from the information provided so far. Did I overlook something?

They want streaming news, dude.

Lafazar, you are bona fide insane. Shut up, man.

Any way to live stream this (from Sweden)?

 

[SneakyStephan]

They want streaming news, dude.

Which would be reporters standing outside the house.

Otherwise a simple ticker or updates on news sites will be plenty live.
It's the internet.

 

[danilark]

This is shocking. I can't believe it is still ongoing.

WTF.


I hope they can get her out of there safely.

No good reason to call people morbid, nor for muppets to post Batman pics.

Same reason why people slow down when they drive by a car crash scene.

What's bad about this article?

 

[Lafazar]

Lafazar, you are bona fide insane. Shut up, man.

Why so rude? All I did was speculate on a very unusual situation. Why is that a crime? I didn't say that's what's really happening, all I'm saying is that this was a POSSIBILITY.

 

[The Storyteller]

Crazy stuff. I hope she's ok.

My old high school isn't far from there (public school, I'm not rich I promise).

What's bad about this article?

The rich part is completely unnecessary and mentioning it being strapped to her neck in the title is incredibly blunt and cold.

Conference delayed to in 15-20 mins, may be able to watch it there, it's our free to air 24 news channel

 

[mrkgoo]

Actually, the law requires you to slow down when passing an accident scene. (at least in our country, for the purpose of safety)

 

[Phonomezer]

I wonder what the motivation is.

I wonder if the Daily Telegraph will manage to slip in the words "linked", "to" & "Al-Qaeda" into it's edition changes somehow.

 

[TheSeks]

Damn. But how the hell did they get entry to the girls house? She knew them? Or left the door unlocked?

 

[Salazar]

Or left the door unlocked?

This, I daresay.

That stream won't play for me (Sweden).

 

[Jintor]

The word extortion is being thrown around quite a bit.

 

[Router]

Damn. But how the hell did they get entry to the girls house? She knew them? Or left the door unlocked?

judging by the timeline she was probably attacked coming home from school.

 

[Hamlet]

hopefully this turns out well and the bomb is disarmed

And?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Jesus Christ.

 

[The Storyteller]

Conference on now, they are still trying to get her secure. Fuck, this could be a while.

That stream won't play for me (Sweden).

It's geolocked.

 

[snoopen]

Conference confirms ongoing and police trying to identify the device, won't confirm that it is an explosive. Talking to national security agencies and making enquiries internationally. Parents aren't allowed to speak to her.
No contact with the person who supposedly left the device.

 

[Jintor]

Conference is live, but no real information. Four specialist police in there + bomb squad, negotiators present talking to the young lady (?), no information coming out about the device itself (too delicate). Vicinity has been evacuated. Parents on scene, but aren't being allowed to talk directly to her, only through the cops. The police are talking to the AFP and are researching information with international agencies.

Last briefing for tonight, so we won't get anything until morning or unless something happens.

And?

Police aren't releasing any information other than that a note was on the device. The Serious Crimes Squad is on the scene though, they generally only roll out for extortion or armed robbery cases.

"Bomb strapped to rich teen's neck"

You see nothing wrong with that title?

What is that about? I read that on the ABC site, but I couldn't make out what they mean.

Edit- I'm off to work, will be checking this thread through out the day.

Yeah, they should have gone with "Rich Bitch Bomb Bound"

 

[ComputerMKII]

"Bomb strapped to rich teen's neck"

Well, it is a rich teen girl, and she does have a bomb strapped to her neck. I see nothing wrong with this news article.

obviously they are there incase a ransom call comes through. I imagine until then they are helping her stay calm.

 

[Jamie OD]

Just heard about this. Unbelievable.

 

[LordCanti]

What the fuuuuuck?

 

[The Faceless Master]

"Bomb strapped to rich teen's neck"

but her being rich is key to the story! it's why there's an extortion/ransom plot!


ohhhhhh wait... i see it now... she's 18, it should say adult, not teen.
