Yesterday (Halloween evening), there was an explosion in one of the buildings in my office campus.
I don’t work in that building and thankfully there were only about 3 dozen colleagues there given the late hour and Halloween. No one was injured. Property damage was limited, with a few broken windows and other localized damage. Supposedly the explosive device was left outside a door that employees working in that building use during their breaks. The campus was closed today for investigations but life will go on tomorrow according to the regular schedule. eBay/PayPal business was not disrupted.
Police are saying its not an accident. Who would want to bomb eBay and PayPal (which is co-located there)? A lot of people have had bad experiences and complain bitterly, but I can’t believe that anyone would be crazy enough to bomb a place for that. Employees are humans too.
P.S. This is nothing new but Slashdotters are jerks. Most normal people can distinguish between a company and its employees but not these fine internet citizens.
