Shortly after 9 p.m., Donna Halper reported:

Ted Koppel is speaking about cyber-security at Symphony Hall when suddenly, fire alarm went off & we all had to evacuate.

A few minutes later, though, people were let back in, she reports.

Compare the layout of the Floors of Symphony Hall with the layout of Floors in the McKim Building of Boston Public Library Copley Square.

It is basically what he said. He was cool and quiet and just said maybe we should leave and find out what was going on.

People got up, but, owing to the fact that most of the people at the speaker series are old enough to have babysat my grandparents, let's just say the emptying of the building was orderly, just slow.

It was like having the four "That Must Be The Tea" people from Caddyshack shuffling in front of you, except there were hundreds of them.

Did they really let everyone back in shortly a "few minute later"? because i was outside for 5-10 minutes before deciding it could be a bad situation and to leave. But driving past the BSH on the way out i saw nobody there anymore
