I took my son and his two friends today to see a movie at a major mall near our home. It turned into a terror situation. Towards the end of Pluto Nash, they stopped the film, put on the hazard lights in the theater and announced that there was an emergency and we were all to EVACUATE in an orderly fashion. We were told to remain calm and not panic. All I could think about was 9/11. I had three young teenagers with me. I have some health issues, but I haven't run to my car so fast in years (of course, the boys were in front of me).

It put me in mind of BB2 and how CBS broke the news to the HGs. And it also made me aware of how grateful I am to CBS for this grand diversion to reality (they can call it reality TV, but I know better). And how grateful I am to all of you for giving me the opportunity to air my complaints. thanks....

So, did you find out what the evacuation was about? Now I am curious.

All that I know is that it wasn't a fire, and they still aren't allowing people back in.

From what I remember working in a mall about the only things they close the mall for and don't let people back in would be some sort of chemical spill, gas leak or a bomb threat. When I worked for an internet provider we all know from BB we got bomb threats quite a lot. It is scary and I would be in a panic if I had kids in that situation. I'm glad you are ok.
