This morning, a hazmat team was called into the Haymarket T stop when a Route 111 bus driver noticed a strange powder on the dashboard of her bus at about 9:15. Traffic ugliness ensued, but things should be cleared up now.
The Herald reached Joe Pesaturo, who had word on the condition of the driver: "Pesaturo said the 52-year-old bus driver was coughing and said she felt ill when she reported the incident at 9:16 a.m." She was taken to Mass General. The Globe reported that she also had eye irritation and light-headedness.
No one responds to a potential threat quite like Boston, and it appears that the authorities left no stone unturned. But add this to a bomb threat at Boston Latin, and people are going to feel edgy, even if it is opening day.

AntyDiluvian ROCKS!
My personal favorite of his is the sumo statue!
I know I'm a few days late on this, but what a friggin' drama queen! The bus driver "felt ill"? At chalkdust powder? Oh my!
