Apple Park was evacuated Tuesday when an envelope with a “white powder substance” was discovered. Employees were cleared to reenter Apple Park when the substance was found not to be harmful.

Ian Sherr for CNET:

According to NBC Bay Area, which published photos of hazardous materials responders at the scene in Apple Park Tuesday, only a portion of the campus was evacuated before given the all-clear. NBC cited Santa Clara County Fire Department Capt. Justin Stockman saying the envelope contained a “white powder substance.”

Both Apple and the local county fire department didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

    1. Probably because it’s an Apple forum and thus covers things that are Apple orientated so you will get that on both a micro (ie specifically Apple) and macro (the economy as it affects Apple) level. I know it’s tough to grasp.

    2. I wish everyone would stop focusing on the circus monkey and start paying attention to his owner(s). Shadow presidency. If you remove Biden via the 25th, you get another circus monkey. If you remove Harris, you get another circus monkey. Meanwhile, the acting president remains the same.

    3. Why do you right wingnuts continue to drone on and on here about politics? Go back to your Facebook friends. Oh wait, Facebook sometimes deletes right wing lies. Where here, nothing is deleted. Even my apparently worthless posts (even though I likely own more Apple products with my company that most people here) 🙂

      1. Au contraire. Stevejack enables the trumptards and if it doesn’t interfere with his hard work to find more screen space for google ads, he actively censors anything critical of the orange idiot. This is no open forum.

    1. Never heard of Babylon Bee before. Apparently, it’s The Onion for our right-of-center friends. If only it was as funny (but I’ll admit comedy is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder).
