Seibertron wrote:Editor's Note: Seibertron.com doesn't normally cover real world news outside of the Transformers hobby, but this one's kind of related. Earlier this year, Hasbro and Discovery Communications announced a joint venture together called The Hub.
Earlier today, a gunman, named James Lee, took the Discovery Channel's headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland (outside of Washington, DC) hostage. The gunman is an activist with a slew of demands he wants broadcast that he feels will "save the planet". Authorities are assuming that the gunman, armed with a handgun, also has an explosive device due to a shiny object the gunman has. At this time, we are unable to verify whether or not The Hub is based out of this building. If it is, then this clearly is Transformers news related. We'll keep you posted in this topic as more information becomes available.
