Default NSC FIRE IS A PRANK!

Just got off the phone with the editor of the Lincoln Journal Star, it is a
prank - His office is five blocks from NSC; he looked on AP wire nothing.
Now go back to just waiting.

I hear sighs of relief! I really can't believe these sick individuals have absolutely nothing better to do with their time.

Default Prank...

Yes it is a Prank, I posted the reason on the other thread but in case you haven't seen it.

1. City of Lincoln is located in Lancaster County not Lincoln County which is located 500 miles west.

2. There are two major hospitals in Lincoln, Bryan and Bryan LGH (one system two locations) and St. Elizabeth's. The hospitals mentioned in the article do not exist.

3. I contacted my neighbor who works for the Lincoln Fire Department and he confirms that they were not called to the BCIS offices.

A HOAX.

I'm surprised so many people took it seriously when you consider it was posted from Usenet with no references whatso ever to an author, or link to an online news source or organization.

It was a troll post in the form of a fake article designed to incite worry and panic, and that's what it did. That's the problem with these boards being linked to Usenet, any prick can post relatively anonymously from there.

Yuh, too many people out there with too much time on their hands, no friends, and a sad sense of humour. I think people took it seriously because when you're sensitive and waiting on a knife edge, you pretty much believe anything. I'm not even waiting on NSC and when I read that, I was so dismayed. I can't imagine how other people waiting on NSC must have felt. Also, it's easier to believe the bad stuff with BCIS, rather than the good.

Also, remember not to long ago how the CSC was caught shredding some documents to get caught up. Just to even suspect that ne would have to re-do everything and start over would be enough to put one over the edge.

As nathon said, poster is just a, "Prick"...

Just some input from another local to back this up... there are facts
in the story that make it obviously fake such as hospital names and
county name (we don't have those hospitals and it is Lancaster County,
not Lincoln County). Definitely a cruel joke.

hey, I wasn't on Forum only one evening and something happened without me.... it is unfair!
So I can't understand what happened??
Citizens of Lincoln, nebraska, got up on morning and didn't see NSC building?
Whether newcomers from Mars decided to rid of our Nebraska complaints which echoing even in Iniverse and made approvals during a night ?

Even I know that NSC is still there and our approvals were not out, may you give me a link to subject you talked about ?

And so can the thousands of people who contribute here every year who would never find British Expats.

I'll take usenet any day over a closed board.

Olenka,

Somebody posted a message about a fire at NSC. See the post titled
"first at Nebraska Center"

It is a HOAX ( naduvatelestvo ) Do not worry.

Heh..... thanks Shawn for info

I think Nebraska is in fire, but we can't see it in our real world, because it is fire of the hell

Another kind of fire can be fire of work under 10 000 asylum petitions

So I think this information is great thruth just without details

Olenka who is in fire of maddness
