it s a secure container they can put it in and transport that dwie device safely. it might be worth it to show as much as we can. again, we re under understandable restrictions from new york police, keeping people at a safe distance. but a little vision of the scene here. you have a fire truck down there. this is one of several ambulances here out of an abundance of caution. this is concerning because it s the first time i ve seen a stretcher taken out of one of the ambulances. i ve been told by police to this point that there aren t any injuries. this could be precautionary. we ll get an update on that as soon as we can. this truck here is blocking the view down 58th street, but i can assure you behind there you got a good dozen emergency vehicles, including a bomb squad, several police. they have shut down a major new york street in the middle of the day for safety, in addition to evacuati evacuati evacuating poppy and i, dozens of our clears, and several floors of time warner center
counterterrorism and intelligence. he s now on the scene, joining at least a couple dozen nypd officials who are here to investigate this suspicious package found in the mail room of the time warner center. we don t yet know for sure who it was addressed to specifically. it was found in the mail room of the time warner center. it contains pipes and wires and is being treated as a real explosive. this is still, of course, a developing situation. we see the vehicles down there. we see the number of officials. we still don t have a whole lot of answers yet, wolf. i just want to be precise. so the new york bureau of cnn, that bureau has now been evacuated from the time warner center at columbus circle in new york city. i m here in washington, d.c. our washington bureau has not received any suspicious packages or warnings. same at the cnn world headquarters in atlanta. all of our bureaus are fine right now, with the exception of
you know they do not, rightfully so, leave anything to chance. they want to get you back. we re respecting that decision because the new york police department has an enormous amount of experience in this. we want to follow their judgment here. i m going to hand the phone to poppy. jim and poppy, i m going to get back to you in a moment. i want the viewers to get the latest information. like the police are suggesting, everybody move away from the time warner center at columbus circle in new york as quickly as possible. all of this is unfolding, the suspicious package at the time warner center where cnn s new york bureau is located. at the same time, there have been suspicious packages delivered not only to former president obama s residence here in washington, d.c., former president clinton s residence in chappaqua, new york, as well as the white house. the white house just issued a statement saying, quote, we condemn the attempted violent
the time warner center mail room where cnn is in new york. yes, they are treating as if they re related. there s some confusion, wolf, over the white house, whether or not a package was addressed to the white house. we re trying to clear that up. there you see now the truck that we were just talking about. it s called a bomb containment unit. i m being corrected here by a law enforcement official. it s a bomb containment unit. they will place this suspicious package in this truck. then i m told what they ll do is transport it, take it to actual rodman s neck in the bronx, which is where the bomb squad, the nypd bomb squad is located, is housed. that s where they ll continue to investigate this device. all right. stand by, shimon. poppy harlow, you re outside the time warner center. you were evacuated with jim sciutto and all of our
building. if you worked here every day as we do, you will know how careful they are in this building in particular. if you try to drive your car into the parking lot at the time warner center where cnn is in new york, they check under each vehicle with mirrors. they check in the trunk of every vehicle before it goes in. there are screening machines, x-ray machines for bags before you walk in the lobby every day. there are precautions in the mail room. so every precaution is always taken, but somehow it is believed from jim s reporting that this device was able to make it inside of the mail room. and i want to get shimon prokupecz into this for a second. is it the suspicion right now, shimon, based on your conversations with law enforcement that these various suspicious packages are, in fact, connected, the soros package, the clinton package, the obama package, the white house package, and the time warner center package? certainly, wolf.
