Film consists of a press conference with OSU President John Byrne, Vice President for Finance and Administration Ed Coate, campus security representative Orville Powell and Corvallis Police Department officer Lael Gunter. Following the press conference is footage of the bomb itself and the scene surrounding the incident on campus.

On the morning of February 6, 1987, an anonymous bomb threat was issued indicating that a pipe bomb had been placed in the Milne Computer Center. Shortly thereafter, a briefcase containing a nine-inch pipe bomb was discovered in the computer center. It was subsequently relocated to the Kerr Library quad where it was deactivated using sandbags and an injection of water.

This film was compiled from two Umatic originals digitized out of the News and Communications Services Motion Picture Films and Videotapes (FV 057), Special Collections and Archives Research Center, Oregon State University Libraries.
