HazMat Response at 8th & Virginia

Seattle 911 shows a massive response to something going down at 810 Virginia downtown. The call came at 1:13 p.m. and if we're counting right we see almost 30 units on the response, including air. "Lots of fire engines and two helicopters," says a tipster in the area. UPDATE: KOMO reports that, "Dozens of fire and medic units were sent to a building in Downtown Seattle Monday afternoon after reports of a strong smell that made some feel dizzy." "KING 5 says pepper spray," says wakingjonas in the comments...and now they're back to an "unknown substance." The building in question houses the 911 dispatch center, it turns out. UPDATE: As of 2:30 p.m., the emergency part is over. Now comes the hardest part: creating scary evening news teasers to boost ratings.

    2 helicopters for what? That has to cost a pretty Euro to put those up in the sky per hour. Homeland Bankrupt us...
