The idea was to get people out of the building so the building could be swept through by authorities. The bombs that were described in the threat were pipe bombs, which wouldn’t hurt anyone from that distance if it was in the middle of the building.
It should also be noted that there was a full scale evacuation because of a similar threat 2 days prior in the district, but there weren’t any bombs found.
