Bomb Scare - Leixlip School Evacuated

boopolo

About 50 mins ago Colaiste Ciarian Shool in Leixlip was evacuated. All pupils were asked to leave the school just after 3pm. There are up to ten squad cars at the scene. No pupils were allowed back in to their lockers.

There are unonfirmed reports of a bomb scare in the Leixlip post-primary school.

Should of targeted Confey College instead

Wtf? wonder if it was a hoax?

Dave!

Don't bomb scares happen all the time.....? Why's this significant?

Varkov

Was just talking to my sister who goes there (my old school aswel).

Apparently some guy rang up (the school I think) saying he had a detonator and there was a bomb in the school. Fairly quickly there were about 10 squad cars up there to get everyone out. This was about half 2 they wouldnt let any kids back in, and sent them home. Think they'll be out tomorrow too.

I hope so. My daughter could not phone me 'cause her cellphone was "trapped" in her locker.

Must add; it was both staff and pupils who were evacuated.

It was probably some kid who wanted a half day

Varkov

Apparently selesions collage had the same call a few months ago.

Yes Varkov,
My dauhter said it all happened very quickly but in a very orderly fashion. Her story was similar to your sister, but the details are all hearsay

Salesian College Celbridge? That was more like eight years ago, they caught him on CCTV because he used a payphone on Main St.

Does someone want to do that for my work? I'd love a day off tomorrow!

Ive been in schools with bomb scares before. A kid basically phones in anonymously and the police have little choice but to take it seriously.

One of the last schools I went to in the USA had a series of bomb scares over a couple weeks. I learned to charge the batteries on my gameboy: they had us sit out in the field while the school was searched every time (taking a couple hours). Never found a perp.

If its 'so what', why did you bother your arse replying.
If its of no interest to you. Go somewhere else and start a flame. The 'signifinance' or importance of any thread or post is up to the indvidual reading it.
I accept you do not find it of interest. But its beyond me why you want to tell others your opinion.

If you find 'stamp collecting' interesting go post there in that section. I would find it boring, but would not post to that thead.

Boo

eamoss

Meh there was a bomb scare in my school a few years ago its not a big deal.

boopolo

Good God

Who said it was a big deal. 99% of threads here are no big deal. Its just chat. It is not headline news.

Its just news that may be of interest to some people. Mainly those whom it concerns.

Or was the keyword thing used?

But saying 'so what' is not an opinion. Unless I started the thread: 'Here, I have some amazing news, that will be of interest to everyone.'

I accept that you and others think it's 'so what', and beleive you feel same. There are thousands of threads here that would be of no interest to me. I would think to myself 'so what'. I do not go and post on these thousands of threads, for that very reason; 'so what'. It's of no interest to me.

I thought of putting it either there or here, and decided here was more in keeping with these forums. Could be wrong though but I think maybe either here or there. Am sure if the mods thought it was in the wrong place they would have moved it.

Always wondered how that keyword thing worked. Was there a list of ridiculous keywords supplied to the guards. Did they just ring up and say there is a bomb and then say Utterly Butterly or what.

when i was working in a shopping centre there were a few bomb scares. A bloke in a luminous jacket would come in and hand you a yellow card. It said something along the lines of "search your premises. If you find anything suspicious contact security on 01xxxxx". Apparently if the card was red you should search extra hard because the threat was likely true but i never saw one of those

mc nuggets

**** my friend just told me this a few minutes ago (he goes to school there) Mad stuff really

RonMexico

Pat Mustard must be doing the rounds again.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

It was me;)

phasers

wait, you can get out of school by ringing to say you have a bomb?

this means I can avoid my Maths test tomorrow
thank you AH

GLaDOS

I forsee a large increase in the number of bomb threats to schools after this thread.

Corruptedmorals

Pfft, a year too late for me

Killerlep

guys I was there it was nothing it was just a quick announcement on the intercom for us to evacuate to the courts with our bags and stuff and then we stood around freezing our asses off for a while there gardaí were there in flack jackets and we were finaly told to go home and stay away from the building and to not hang around outside the gates none of the teachers told us it was a bomb but we knew it was and we all went home there was no panic at all and nobody was scared at all as far as know

Wossack

just normal stab vests, or was there anything particular about their clothing?

unless they where planning on using your school as a staging ground from which to launch an airbourne raid on normandy, I doubt they were flak jackets :P

Killerlep

yeah well then it was a stab vest i didnt get a proper look but he deffinately wasnt kitted out with bomb desposal gear and obviously he wouldnt since the army does that but when i was there, i saw only one squad car and like 3 or 4 gardaí oh and just to let everyone know YES IT WAS A HOAX AND THE SCHOOL WILL MOST LIKELY BE OPEN TOMORROW
how do i know this? u might ask well my dad went up there to see if his night classes were going to be on and the place was fine and the janitor was inside and told my dad the night classes were going to be on and that the whole thing was a hoax

The guy

There was a flood in my old school a few years ago, two days off.

Best days ever.

Yeah, not alone was her cellphone 'trapped' in her locker, but her coat also. Ten mins after she got home the heavens opened.

Boo

nezzo

yeah, i was there too, and they were stab vests, and only one garda car, and the principal seemed pretty freaked out. all in all, it was quite funny.....

oh and it was during the second last class, so i dont think it was a student wanting a half day particularly, just messin.

Terry

Meh.
Tried it in Confey College back in 1990.
We even put a bit of platicine with some wires and an alarm clock on top of one of the prefabs, but they didn't even evacuate the place.

I didn't go in that day anyway.

Crumble Froo

...how serious are you? ha, i never heard about that.

though twas fun when they were building the extension and the site (and school) flooded. few days off then, and again wehn they got a new fire alarm system, and couldnt figure out how to turn it off...

Hack

It was most definitely a hoax.

Only a few people knew about it.
Like I said, they didn't even evacuate the place.
A couple of cops got onto the prefab, looked at the improvised device and laughed. Well, I'm just guessing that they laughed. I probably would have.

That was well after my time there.

Crumble Froo

indeed, i was 2 years old, and my lil bro was just born in 1990... ive moved in with teh b/f in nz now, and the lil bro's in college....

though there's a good chance you were in confey with my auntie.

either ways,..... hands up who thinks it should be a real bomb in choláiste next time? :P

This is what comes of watching to many 80's shows like McGyver and The A-Team, people end up believing all you need to create a bomb is half a pound of semtex, an alarm clock and 2 wires (a red and a blue of course)
