Whoopee Cushion Bomb

AUSTRALIA: A bus driver sparked a major alert after finding a 'suspicious parcel' but it turned out to be a whoopee cushion

He became concerned after spotting the package on the rear seat of his bus as he came to the end of his route in Sydney

He noticed it made a popping sound when touched and, fearing it could be an explosive device, called police.

"It was an unattended item, emitting a popping sound. Just as a precaution we investigated. It's a whoopee cushion," police said.
