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
didn t search until today. but clearly something on this. this isn t 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 truck probably come in and remove whatever it is. so there is a huge massive response now by the nypd and the fbi here. we are seeing the evacuation that s going on underway. this is midtown manhattan. as you know, there is a postle sorting facility on this block. so you are seeing we had video of it. okay. here we go.
similar to those other packages. robert de niro obviously a long time critic of president trump. it may not be surprising that he and his production company would also be targeted. mr. de niro released a short statement saying the building was evacuated. the building is open. everyone is safe. this is not what free speech should look like. some nervous moments here this morning. nypd on it right around 5:00 a.m. within a couple of hours, they had it in a containment truck. they moved it up to the bronx. now they are looking into it to see if there are any signs. similarities, a lot of similarities there. we will analyze all of this in a minute. evan is back with us to talk about other devices that were found. at this point they now have what they believe to be eight
designed to contain explosive devices now driving up the west highway during the morning commute in lower manhattan. this is a remarkable image we are seeing right now of that truck we believe that is headed to the bronx which is where you send bombs in the new york greater city area to be taken care of. how close are you to the building itself where this was sent? i want to say probably about 100, 150 feet or so. the containment truck left a bit ago if you can still hear me, and i know it s a chaotic scene and you are probably being moved around here, and yesterday when the bomb was sent to cnn thousands of people that work in this giant building were evacuated. have people been removed in the
what do you have? it s a real concern with the containment truck, and there are similarities i am being told by o officials. similarities in the device itself? the packaging, which is key here. some of the material that is in the packaging. other information basically which indicates to the nypd this could be related to what we have been seeing. obviously the biggest fear that this was going to happen, they were going to find another one overnight as we have been saying, interestingly enough, that is where robert de niro s office. robert de niro has directed
