Broken Toy Mistaken for a Bomb Leads to Office Evacuation at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort

Today a broken Buzz Lightyear toy found at an office near Hong Kong Disneyland park caused the evacuation of 500 workers and brought anti-terrorism officers to the resort. According to the South China Morning Post, authorities were called around 12:30 p.m. Monday after a parcel was discovered containing wires and a battery. Bomb disposal experts turned up some time later, with a source adding, “The theme park’s two sniffer dogs were also deployed to detect any dangerous goods and gave a positive indication to their handlers.”
