ABC News Building in Washington Evacuated for False Alarm; White Substance Was Aspirin

The Associated Press WASHINGTON
Jul 26, 2007 (AP)

A building housing the Washington bureau of ABC News was temporarily evacuated Thursday because of a suspicious envelope containing a white powdery substance that turned out to be aspirin, District of Columbia authorities said.

D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter said there was no note or address on the small envelope. No one reported any medical symptoms, he said. The substance turned out to be aspirin, Etter said.

People were forced to leave the downtown building for about 45 minutes, Etter said.

1. Or B.C.
Powdered aspirin works so much faster

I have to wonder if the "envelope" was in actuality the product's own packaging. And perhaps someone of a younger generation saw it and freaked.
