Bomb Threats Received Against Two Greyhound Buses

December 2, 2015

Bomb threats were received against two Greyhound buses that departed Mobile this morning, but no explosive devices were found when the buses were searched.

One bus was searched at the Greyhound Bus Station on Burgess Road at Highway 29 in Pensacola. A bomb sniffing dog checked out the bus after passengers were evacuated and cleared.

The second bus was stopped in Conecuh County, AL, and moved to the Evergreen, AL, airport to await the arrival of a bomb team from Montgomery. No explosives were found.

The incidents remain under investigation by numerous agencies.

    As a driver of Trailways buses, this has happened to me too. Not a pleasant experience and adds many unnecessary hours to the trip. Connections are missed and inconvenience to company and passengers caused by some disgruntled/vindictive person.

    Thank you to the K-9s and the officers who do this scary job!

    I heard about Burgess rd at 29 closed this morning, but no one seemed to know why. Now I know, thanks William.

    As for the second bus; brave driver! Not sure I would have been willing to move it across the parking lot if someone said there might be a bomb on it. :-) kudos to the driver(s) bomb squad, dogs et al.
