discovered today. 12 in total now this week. the 11th addressed to corey booker. that found in a mail facility in florida. these are pictures you are seeing here live found in midtown manhattan haddressed to james clapper with the address of the cnn headquarters in new york. what you are seeing there is a picture that might be familiar to you that. is a containment vessel the nypd brings in to place the vessel. now it s arrived again for this package. our jason carol is on the scene now in midtown manhattan. tell us what the police are telling you. as you know all too well, a very familiar scene. nypd, state police, fbi all descended here just about six
the scene? reporter: well, it s a full emergency response here. we ve got high ranking officials from the nypd, fdny, even some state police are here, john miller at the nypd is here as well. it s really sort of it s the nypd keeping everybody behind police tape away from the post office. the post office has been fully evacuated. if anybody leaves the surrounding buildings, they are escorted away for the time being until this package is in the containment vessel. bringing us the latest from the scene right there, bomb squad, containment vehicle for an explosive device closed off in new york, the 12th package now sent. this one as we have been saying, we see it there to james
morning. they said what happened. they said it was calm and orderly. the word had spread throughout the facility that a package had been discovered. they asked everyone to evacuate. they went across the street here and were told simply just to wait. that s what s happening here at the scene. it s a postal facility here in held s kitchen. that s what we call it here in new york city. six blocks south of cnn headquarters here in new york city where you have got investigators investigating yet another package. unreal. jason carol, thanks for being there. you and your crew hustle down there. we go to simone, who is working his sources on all of this. again, a very similar package. addressed to us here at cnn. he is a contributor here to cnn. what else are you learning? this package was discovered by a postal inspector this morning who directly called the
jason, if you can hear us, what are you seeing? we see bomb sniffing dogs. what are you hearing? what are you seeing? reporter: familiar scene from what we saw earlier this week. the police came here on 52nd street and eighth avenue. down the street now in front of a postal facility where that package was discovered, a package we now learn has been addressed to claims clapper, former director of national intelligence, addressed to cnn, discovered here at the postal facility some time this morning. that s when we got the alert. that s when investigators descended on the scene here just six blocks south of cnn where you are right now, poppy. so again you have got the streets cordoned off. you have investigators on the scene as they take this package excuse me, sir. as they take the package and start investigating what they have discovered here. i spoke to a postal worker this
better sense of the motivation. but i can tell you one of the things they re doing at this stage is, you know, looking through the packages, seeing if they can gather it, seeing if they could identify a person. one of the things they will do is look at the internet history of that person. they are going to look through to see what kind of searches they made, what kind of comments they made on the internet to get a sense of their mindset, which helps in this investigation. but at this point, as you said, it is very, very clear that let me talk to poppy. that there is some commonalities about this. as you and i were speaking to the governor yesterday, he said the worry is there could be more packages out there, and that s exactly what we re seeing today. we heard the same thing from the new york city mayor who you can bet is being briefed on this and going to the scene here. okay. jason carol is there, our colleague on the ground.
