A grenade like item was found on a plague with the words written, "Complaint Department. Pull Pin." This prompted an immediate evacuation of a Manhatten Skyscraper across the street from where the Twin World Trade Towers stood more than a decade ago. The package was first flagged at 10:23 AM and in the building's mail room and was subsequently scanned. Quick acting security personnel initiated the evacuation of the entire skyscraper just seven minutes later. The all clear was given when a bomb squad was sent in to investigate the incident and deemed the package not a threat. Construction of the One World Trade Center Skyscraper where the original twin towers stood is well underway just across the street of the whole ordeal.

Another possible terrorist attack in such a close proximity of the greatest attack foreign attack on U.S. soil is just not acceptable. Fortunately the package was of no harm and was a simply a hoax but if "bomb" had gone off, a public outcry would soon be to follow. Security measures must be drastically increased especially in such a densely populated area such as Manhatten to deter any future such disturbances.
