Thousands of Roman Catholic pilgrims have been evacuated from Lourdes in south-west France after a bomb threat, officials are reported as saying.

Lord have mercy! Glory to God there were no casualties!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
                           and both come out of your mouth

Yes but with that large a crowd, there's always the danger that panic might set in as people run to escape.  Which is why you don't yell "fire" (or "bomb") in a crowded theater.
