It was my last day at work today.... and well it was one to remember! Some one sent a letter bomb and it got through our post screening. It got opened in our reception. My friend opened it and the whole of reception filled with smoke, she got out and she had glass stuck in her hand. Apparently she got to my office crying for me but I wasn't there at that point so I felt really bad. There was a bomb squad there, the met police and firemen. The yevacuated everyone except my office!! It was horrible and our boss wouldn't tell us why they wouldn't let us out. We were eventually taken to a different building and interviewed and told to go home. The whole thing was like a film. I went to the hospital to see my friend and the police have now taken her home. The building is still being searched and the envelope has been taken by police. We got told the bomb was filled with glass, nails and powder, but that they couldn't tell us any more. I can't believe what people can actually do! The company do DNA testing for many things, Major Crime, Forensics, Paternity, Immigration..... I guess it could have come from anywhere. Just a very scary thing to happen. Hopefully my new job wont be as violent!
