WASHINGTON, D.C. – D.C. fire crews say a mailbox explosion shut down several streets and forced evacuations in Northeast Washington on Thursday night.
It happened at 49th Street NE and Meade Street NE just before 10 p.m. Officials say a blue U.S. Postal Service mailbox was destroyed by an explosive device.
D.C. Fire and EMS had to close off several streets in the area, and they were checking to see if there was a second device. There were no injuries reported.
Witnesses said debris was scattered over a large area after the explosion.
If you gave the Postal employees up to (5) years, 36 or over Postal service, to retire to get them their 80% pay, you would have 95% of the Postal employees that make the most money and you pay more benefittes too, retire
You would not have to put out any money at that time.
The Postal employees that work the most overtime have more time in the Post Office. You would save that money because you could have someone that you do not pay overtime pay too, do the work.
Most of the Post employees that have more then 36 years are just here to get their 80% pay when they retire.
Thank you
