The San Francisco Bomb Squad seems to be having a busy 2009 already, non? Yesterday evening, another incident backed up traffic quite a bit in the area around Kezar Stadium, with a parade of blocked vehicles reaching all the way to the interesting intersection of Fell and Masonic.
SFWeekly Snitch Matthew Smith has some info about the large blast that resulted.
When the bomb squad doesn’t send in the robot, they have the option to use this guy. It takes quite a while to get this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle outfit on. Click to expand:
Have a safe 2009.
[UPDATE: Apparently, the suspicious object wasn't that suspicious at all.]
