Morning. So thats the latest here. The nypd bomb squad is inside our offices at Columbus Circle. The package was addressed to 10 Columbus Circle. We dont know who specifically it was addressed to. It did arrive. It was received in the mail room of the building. The staff there alerted authorities, alerted Building Security to the device, and thats when the nypd responded. Obviously they became really concerned almost immediately. Shimon, just very briefly, what do we know about the package that was delivered to the Time Warner Center . Why was it suspicious . What raised the alarm bells . Right, wolf. So what raised the alarm bell is when they xrayed the package, they found what looked like metal material, perhaps a pipe bomb. Weve talked about other pipe bombs or other bombs inside Metal Construction that have
been delivered to other locations. That immediately had everyone concerned. Then also were being told that there were wires, what appeared to be wires inside this package. That
keeping snow clear. walking over to the departure boards here and arrival boards. maybe you see there is only two well there is three now. two flights from denver and one from o hare canceled. beyond that nothing canceled yes. even though hundreds of cancellations all across the country. that s a positive. take a look what s coming. yeah, what you just showed, some of that cheyenne minus 23 i heard. that s headed our way. and we ll be here tomorrow. coming in later tonight, actually. so if you didn t get out today from a place in the upper midwest, chances are, you are not going to make it to new year s. you might not make it to christmas. there you go. again, not so bad. they got the dogs out, too. who let the dogs out? do you see that, chris? they got the dogs sniffing. they deploy them when they expect a lot of people. right now not a whole lot of people, guys. brian: thanks, jeff. people fly with dogs so you have dogs sniffing dogs. will: that s a good point. brian: thank y
confirm you are infected. now, what itself astonishing is florida international university which trained the dogs says their accuracy in positively identifying the virus in this way is the same or better than most lab tests. their dogs are 96 to 98% accurate. want to know how it breaks down dog by dog? of course, you do, one betta, the dutch sheppard, her accuracy rate is 98.1%. cobra is 99.4% accurate as a covid-19 test. the dog is. and that is a published peer review double blind study. we re familiar with dogs sniffing for drugs, dogs sniffing for explosives. some are trained to sniff out currency, dogs can do amazing stuff. these particular boggs before becoming covid experts, they were agriculture detective dogs.
received in the 9:00 hour. according to two law enforcement sources, the package was addressed to 10 columbus circle. that s the address that comes up if you google cnn. it s not the address that s on our business cards, but that s the address that comes up if someone is searching on the internet for the location of cnn. we still don t know for sure to whom this package was addressed. we know it the address was 10 columbus circle. again, it was received midmorning in the 9:00 hour. one more thing i want to point out, kate, is you can see the officers standing behind me and to my left. the cars that are parked there, we ve seen bomb-sniffing dogs sniffing along all of those vehicles, including the u.p.s. truck you can see immediately behind me and on down the line. this as now we re seeing dozens and dozens of law enforcement officials on the scene. as we mentioned earlier, we were here in the last hour or so or last half hour or so when john miller arrived in a motorcade. he s the head
