Yes. Fox News said they were told it was a "mass casualty" situation.

Let's hope this is a case of mass hysteria. Happens frequently, one person gets sick, someone mentions the 'a' word and suddenly everyone is sick and throwing up.

I'm watching the news and I heard her say that and my stomach came up into my throat. I wasn't sure I heard her right so I ran to the computer to see what we had to say.

I just ate lunch and I feel sick.

They were trying to get someone over there...FOX has been dropping the ball on certain breaking stories lately so it doesn't surprise me they are in commercial.

~~Why isn't Fox on this now?~~

They had to break in for a breaking "ALERT" on Laci Peterson case. Apparently, Amber Frye was a slut.

None of the cable providers have anything. PattiAnne brown is talking about Laci Peterson, CNN and MSNBC running tape of the Russian school hostage situation.

Dozens Sickened At Downtown Building

Investigators Look For Cause

 

POSTED: 1:05 pm EDT September 1, 2004
Officials say several dozen people have been sickened in a downtown office building.

D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman Alan Etter said this is being treated as what he calls a "mass casualty" incident.

Ambulances are lining up in the area around 1990 I Street, Northwest, and a triage area is being set up at nearby Murrow Park.

 

There's no immediate word on what the problem is.

Stay with News4 and nbc4.com for the latest updates to this developing story.
