Waffle Emergency!

[mbarrick]

The "Waffle Building" (1075 W. Georgia St.) is completely evacuated, the 1000 block of west Georgia and the 600 block of Thurlow are closed. There are four abulances, 3 ladder trucks, a HazMat truck and other assorted emergency vehicles around the building. CityTV seems to be the only people who have a news crew on the site. I have no idea what is going on, but I'll certainly be watching the CityTV news tonight.

The official line on the new: "Uuuh... we don't know what it was."

The best theory they could put forth was that somebody's pepper spray went off. Sheesh.

Like I said to Sandi - maybe it was those awful burritos from the Royal Centre Mall food court.
