Toronto is not in the US. Therefor no FBI. We have cowboys on horses for that.

No seriously.

I think the bigger story here is how the Canadians treat their horses. What is on that horses ass? Is that a maple leaf?

Hello ATS, I would like to share an odd experience I had today. I was taking a break from work today, and went to go check my cell phone, when I noticed a phone call coming through. I had had my cell on silent, but just so happened to check the phone just as this call was coming through. The number was marked 'PRIVATE NUMBER' and I was a little confused and hesitant about answering it, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to answer it
Upon answering the phone I was prompted by an automated message. The voice on the line was the same voice used by the internet hack group 'Anonymous'. The voice began by telling me that I should leave the city of Toronto, ON within the next week, in which time, the message claimed there would be an impending nuclear disaster. Upon hearing this, I was quite confused and wasnt quite sure what to make of the call I had just received.
At this point, I took the phone away from my face and tried putting it on speaker phone as there were other people in the room, and i wanted them to hear this. Unfortunately, because of either the quality of my speaker phone, or the noise in the room, I was unable to make out much of what i had put on speaker phone. I did manage to hear something about taking off my clothes or something similar and a mention of some sort of bunker.
Then the call just ended.
I have no idea what to make of this experience, it doesnt seem to have been any of my friends playing a prank on me, and if it is someone playing a prank, i cant think of who it possibly could be. This whole situation was very strange. Has anyone else on ATS experienced anything like this?

edit on 2-12-2012 by koadie because: (no reason given)

Thats why I never answer calls marked private.

For some reason, this story completely reminded me of the movie Miracle Mile.

Gosh I love that film. <3

OP, if you want to have a little fun with yourself tonight, you should go rent it.

I agree it is probably some kind of hoax, but I thank the OP for sharing, for this is ATS, and threads like this and many other kinds are the reason I come here, this is not Huffington post and if you are expecting lamestream media stories on this site, I suggest that you don't understand the raison d'etre of this site - it is for DISCUSSING topics such as these.

Anyway, let's play along with this supposed message and think of possible nuclear disasters that could befall Toronto, while not in Toronto I live in the surrounding area and have countless friends and relatives that work and/or live there.

East of Toronto there are two massive nuclear plants, Pickering and Darlington, however due to the prevailing westerlies of North America these are downwind from Toronto, and if either had a major accident they would only have a significant impact on Toronto on one of those rare days when the winds are blowly directly West, which happens less than once a month. However, regardless of the wind direction Lake Ontario would be contaminated and this is Toronto's main drinking water supply, though some does come from the North.

As far as I know Toronto was never any major cold war target, I don't know why Russian or Chinese strategic missle commands would target it, most manufacturing has moved out of the city, the major airport is far outside the city hub, the port in miniscule, and any rail line disruption could easily be by-passed, no oil depots nor any other natural resource stockpiles.

As for terrorists (and I believe much terrorist activity has been goaded/supported by the PTB in order so they could continue to derive control/power/profits from the Military Industrial Congressional Complex after the demise of the Cold War, without terrorists this MIC would have no justification for continuing, terrorists also give them justification for the incremental ramp up of the police state), Toronto has a large Iranian population so it is hard to imagine them wanting to kill so many of their own; there are actually large populations from every corner of the world in Toronto, so any transnational "terrorist" would be killing their own if such a device was detonated in Toronto.

Vancouver would make more sense in terms of a strategic target, if Vancouver and it's environs were destroyed any invading army from the East would have free reign in much of BC, as long as they stayed away from the US borders.

Ottawa would be a more symbolic target, and contains many of the nations leaders, political and bureaucrat and military.

So Toronto only makes sense from the standpoint of a purely terrorist or fear inducing hit.

I hope and I'm sure nothing will happen, peace to all.

Google the movie "Miracle Mile".

Unfortunately, in Canada, only the Police can ask to have a trace put on a caller/call. You need to have a warrant.

My advised to the OP...Call the cops

If it's a "prank" or "hoax", it's a really bad one. Because I don't see anything funny about it.

Assuming the story the OP told is true....

I would call the cops and let them trace the call.

Yes there is a chance it's a prank, but what if there is more behind this?
The caller made a serious threat which IMO warrants that you go to the cops.

And when it would turn out only a "hoax"...then it would also be good to know that the failed "hoaxer might get a visit from the police. So or so..you don't have anything to lose. Go to the cops.

Sure hope this is a hoax; my brother lives in Toronto.

As a side, whacky conspiracy note; if there WAS any legitimacy to it, it likely has something to do with "Project Mayhem".
