Building 2 is home to Nomura Securities, among others. According to the Daily News, the package iswas thought to contain a grenade. Update: Though initially worried about what was going on, Nomura employees are apparently “pretty calm right now” and “gathered at a local bar waiting to see what’s next.” Update II: Everybody can get back to work– the package contained a “novelty grenade.”

Suspicious package – that's what the cop said before he got peed on.
Update: shit just got real.
We're at threat level midnight here people.
"People were a little nervous getting outside," said an employee at Nomura. " But once we left the building everything was fine. Everyone's pretty calm right now."
The source said a bunch of employees have gathered at a local bar and are waiting to see what's next.
huh?
ROR!
My specialty when I was hanging out with the guys and scamming, was something called "jumping on the grenade". You find a group of women and usually one of them is a little less attractive. This is the grenade. It would be my job to jump on the grenade, to sort of keep everything flowing for the evening. That was my thing, and then I married the grenade, I pulled her pin.
I need to stop getting Civil War artifacts that I purchase on eBay shipped to my office.
or do you mean WWII pacific theater artifacts?
you apparently are not esteemed.
Novelty grenade? Not fair to call Greg Smith that–the novelty has worn off.
Pauly D? I didn't know you were an avid Dealbreaker fan.
An employee of a bank called Nomura said that people seemed to be a little nervous, seemingly at first, but everyone had for the most part calmed down once away from the building. After that, a bunch of employees of a bank called Nomura went to a bar in the area and were waiting to see what was going to happen next. Most likely, they were waiting to hear whether they should go home for the day or if it was safe to return to work. Hope this helps and have a great day.
The bomb squad, upon opening the package remotely using a robot, found just empty calories and male curiosity.
I got this.
- Bruno Mars
- Guy who lets his kids control the radio in the car
Nomura has a Complaint Department?

Who is Nomura, and why are bank employees calling him?
the plaque actually said "Welcome to UBS HR Dept., pull pin"
Motives examined…RMFAO
Be happy in your work.
-Col. Saito
Employee ordered it online and evidently sent it to himself at work for a cool desk toy….
"Wait, remeber Peter.. ever hear the story about how he lost HIS job!?"
Oh you people! The name of the company that was evacuated is Nomura! It's not the name of an actual individual!
Just "Welcome to UBS"
Dude…. chill. Do your Hakuna Matata dance or something.
Evacuating an NYC office building as part of an elaborate novelty grenade marketing campaign is the NKI.
"Welcome to UBS, Sucker"
Oh well
I believe that was a typo. It was supposed to be for the Compliance Department.
My thoughts exactly
Like sinks and fixtures and stuff?
- same MD from above
UBS one-liners really aren't funny anymore.
Get the fuck away from my boat.
- Guy with boat next to WFC 2
I mean, I kind of feel like a Kweku joke is in there somewhere.
Where are the customers' boats?
Cmon dude… like Jersey Shore could come up with something good… besides… Chicks don't like that lawyer wrap bro… they want Wall Street… WALL STREET!!!!!
The pathetic married friend comes over to my house, giving me this sob story about how it's my fault his friends are abandoning him, on their Sunday brunches. Which it was. Of course, but I didn't let him know that.
So what did you do?
I blew him. He actually tasted good. His wife probably reads Cosmo.
