Inner Harbor buildings evacuated in downtown Baltimore after van found with 1,000 gallons of gasoline
Baltimore emergency officials evacuated a large area of downtown on Monday after an abandoned van loaded with 1,000 gallons of gasoline was discovered in the parking garage of one of the city’s most venerable companies, officials said.

Shortly after 11 a.m. police received a call about a suspicious vehicle in the parking garage of 100 E. Pratt St., home to T. Rowe Price, one of the city’s largest private employers. Officials quickly began an evacuation from several high rise buildings that sparked Sept. 11 anxiety and turned the heart of the city’s business and tourist district into a crime scene tied off with yellow tape.

Nearly 1,000 T. Rowe Price employees were evacuated by Monday afternoon as the investment giant shifted trading operations to offices outside the city and worked to find alternative transportation for those whose cars were parked in the garage, said spokesman Brian Lewbart.

1000 gallons is a suspiciously round number, so it's probably just an estimate. And if this really is a criminal incident, then the driver of the van probably didn't care about overloading the van or messing up his suspension.

My point is that this is being reported as fact, when 2 minutes on google shows it's obviously crap. Journalism is in a sad state.
