"Springfield (KMTR) – The Springfield campus of Symantec Inc., was locked down after a suspicious substance was found.
Hazmat crews were called out around 3:30 p.m. and the building was put into lockdown until about 7:40 p.m. Employees were notified by email that they could not enter or leave the building while police and firefighters dealt with the substance.
Fire officials say an employee opened a letter that had some white powder inside the envelop and a letter which said, "Anyone who comes in contact with this letter is infected with anthrax. Cris Paden, spokesman for the Cupertino, Calif. company, says there is no confirmation what the substance is.
Reports say 30 employees were isolated in the mailroom and the heating and air conditioning system were turned off.
About 1,200 people were reported to be in the building during the five-hour lock down."
Went to Springfield, Oregon for a Symantec Corporate training session. Ended up stuck at work until about 8:00pm due to the Anthrax scare. The powder ended up being sugar...real funny...some people are such idiots.
Here's a video of the hazmat crew:

The news finally came in...it was just sugar...
My co-worker Rhett and I decided to do some sightseeing on the last day in order to blow off some steam after training.
A little car surfing on the rental...
This picture was taken at Dexter Lake
This lot was for sale for about 150k. Nice lake view :)
