A bomb was found in a luggage locker at the main train station ín my town yesterday. It was similar to the one found on a regional train on Monday in Dortmund.
It is not known why or when it was to be set off.
This is not a joke.

YIKES!! Disconcerting, to say the least! Do stay safe!
Hey, how did you generate traffic to your blog? Not the SPAM kind, the kind of genuinely like-minded people?! (Travelers… educators… like me!)

I think I heard something about that, like a planned terrorist attack that got aborted. Thank goodness nothing happened, there’s enough bloodshed in this world.

OMG, J, that’s really frightening! I hadn’t heard about the one in Dortmund either. You take care of yourself, OK?

Hi. I’m in Duisburg and check in on your blog from time to time 
One article said the bomb was found on the Aachen to Hamm route, so probably the RE1. Nice to think that my husband and I rode that back and forth to Essen on Saturday and Sunday. I guess the good thing (if you wanna call it that) to consider is that it’s probably not Al-Q or people would have died. A propane bomb sounds like some local homegrown nutjob. I just know that next time I’m on pub trans I’ll be a little more observant of unattended bags…

Seriously? Yeek. As often as you travel around Germany double yeek. I didn’t hear about either of these, but then I’ve been missing the evening news lately.
