I only like story time with @extranatty He’s got the reich stuff for it.

Everyone has anuses.

I really enjoyed that period where you weren't posting anything

Jesus Christ that article is ridiculously long. I mean its an interesting story but not THAT interesting.



TL; DR.

i first saw story on the tv show "forensics files" then I went on the internet for more info.. this is a real story. Did the driver get charged with anything?

 

[watdaflock?]

The onus is on the author, not the reader shoe boy

It was easier for me to copy/paste the date to Google than it was for you to type "Lets see a news story" but of course, a Sup not being efficient is nothing new.

On March 19th 1998, a UPS driver delivered a box to a young man who opened the pkg and it exploded. Yes , the young man had angered some long distance truckers with false promises who sought revenge. I'm curious to hear from drivers or long time upsers on what was said during this time? How is UPS protecting us from another attack like this?

For crying out loud, you're spooked over something that happened almost 19 years ago?

Be more worried about that semi coming down the road in the other direction, or that big tree you have to drive under.

I remember this story on Forensic Files or something.

I was just curious what was said during the PCMS during this time, looks like no one knows..I'm not spooked, I have been trained to expect the unexpected, I was just curious about what happened before drivers were trained to " expect the unexpected" lol

Been here since 1989 and this is the first I have ever heard of this.

And what about all that white powder on so many packages? What's the company doing to protect us from anthrax? Also, it's unexpected for a meteorite to strike a package car the second it pulls out of the building, so I guess I should expect that and never leave.

 

[MECH-lift]

I remember guys talking about the anthrax attack , they said ups claimed " we know our customers"

 

[MECH-lift]

you guys may think it's funny but a young life was lost , and it seems ups kept it hush hush like usual..

For the most part we do.

I have reported questionable activity in the past. Nothing ever came out of it.
