Page 5 - Sorting Facility News Today

Didnt search until today. but clearly something on this. this isnt just a normal concern for a postal inspector. i think you make a very good point. the fact that this postal inspector director called the fbi and the fbi called the nypd bomb squad. we will see a very similar situation outside this post office to the sorting facility to what we saw outside of cnn just days ago. a massive response. you can hear it there right there on our air. we are going to see that truck again, that containment...

Serial bombers have long periods of time of inactivity where they essentially went to ground. the fact that we have this number of devices, the good news is no casualties. the bad news is we have somebody out there operating with impunity and i suspect they are going to make a misstep and law enforcement will catch them in short order. >> in addition to the news of this additional package, we are now learning of police activity, law enforcement activity here in manhattan. 52nd and eighth avenue ...

Phil mudd, at one point you worked at the fbi. what jumped out at you from what we heard over at the justice department? >> well, there are two pieces. first the immediate piece, people are talking about what the devices looked like. there were people in danger for the last week. these were real devices. theres debate about this. no one can dispute chris wray. he is an appointee of president trump working for the attorney general. we had a real threat here. theres a lot of negativity in this cou...

It. there is going to be a pretty large response now over at this sorting facility. >> the scope of this all just expanded before our very eyes. an 11th device, presumably a bomb addressed to corey booker recovered in florida. here in new york city, you are looking at live pictures right now at a postal facility six blocks from here. another suspicious package addressed to james clapper. and new reporting. >> it was coming to cnn. it was addressed to cnn. it was to james clapper at cnn. this i...

Postal inspectors yesterday said they had searched these sorting facilities and they had entire day where they did not find anything. so they were feeling good. they were feeling some confidence that they werent going to get anymore. we dont know if they searched this facility. they said they had searched postal sorting facilities and they had not found anything suspicious. we know the one from corey booker, the one sent from corey booker was found last night. that could have been sitting at the...

The number of people trying to hit work, trying to figure out whats going on. its not just the postal facility because, you know, you have got apartment buildings that are located on this street. you have folks still trying to figure out, can i get into my apartment? can i get in? can i get out? you have organized chaos here as investigators come in and again try to get this package set aside and, again, the package that we are told matches the description of the package. >> its so loud there. i...

Out of cnn headquarters in new york. that facility has been evacuated. the streets here have been blocked off as we are told that the evacuation was triggered shortly after workers here discovered another package. the package having similar markings than the packages of course that we have seen delivered earlier this week. so right now we have got a number of emergency crews who are here. the streets are blocked off. i can see the postal workers across the street were standing outside waiting fo...

Not the case because that was probably when that package was found. but a few other points that really stand out to me from the reporting, not just here but in new york, from talking to the employees that work in this facility, i talked to multiple of them yesterday, they told me there is about 20 inspectors, postal inspectors in this facility looking for suspicious packages. when you were talking about this inspector calling the fbi about a package, thats what employees described to me. they ha...

Sorting facility. apparently we have another situation where the nypd there is now investigating this suspicious package. bomb squad en route. theyre probably all there already. remember yesterday they said they searched every facility, and they had not found anything as of maybe 4:00 yesterday. so this clearly would be something new. perhaps it would be another situation where it was sitting in the facility and maybe they were searching this morning where someone came across this. but, again, t...

This is cnn breaking news. all right. the breaking news, another one. another suspicious package found. this would be the 11th this week. lets get right to our reporter. >> thats right. the first thing i want to stress, this is a new package. this isnt something that was just received into the postal facility. this appears to be something that was found last night in florida at the facility that we have been reporting about where the fbi and the local authorities there have been searching. thi...
