A Big Misunderstanding: it was a survival kit, not a bomb

On the 10/20/17 a women thought there was a “Pipe Bomb” in Fortuna 10th Street.

She called the police and they sent  the Humboldt Country explosive ordnance disposal team.

They tried to destroy it safely and then they found out that it was an homemade container used to carry survival items. The husband of the women who called the police left it there for a hunting trip.

So all in all, it was just a big misunderstanding and they made a big thing out of it. So nobody got hurt, but the resident had to leave his house and wait at the neighbor’s house. Neighboring residents were also informed.
