UPDATE: Police called to Bloomington Hospital

Half of Bloomington Hospital's emergency area was evacuated Tuesday after two injured men with a potential explosive component on their cots arrived by ambulance from Crane Naval Base, according to a hospital spokeswoman.\nValynda Laird, associate director for critical care at the hospital, said the two men were injured when an object detonated at Crane Tuesday morning. The two employees then took the 30-45 minute ambulance ride to Bloomington Hospital and arrived around 11:55 a.m., she said. It was then discovered they had some of the detonator material on their cots. \nThe three Crane employees were injured when they were unpacking Stab Detonators for outside destruction that prematurely detonated, according to a press release. The Ammunition Burning Grounds have been secured and Crane's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team is assessing the situation, according to the press release.\nLaird stressed that the Bloomington Fire Department told the hospital the threat of an explosion was minute, but was possible. Laird said at that point, the hospital's management met and decided to evacuate about half of the emergency room area as a safeguard to patients and employees of the hospital. In addition, those in the hospital were told to discontinue the use of cell phones or other devices which emit radio frequencies, as they have the potential to detonate such material, Laird said. \nLaird said that the Crane employees were still under the care of hospital specialists and are in serious, but stable condition. Laird also said that the potentially dangerous material was removed by "specialists" at the hospital. At that time, the hospital's management issued a Code Green, or "all clear" for everyone in the vicinity.\nPresident of Bloomington Hospital Mark Moore said that the evacuation and precautionary measures went off without a hitch.\n"It's something we're prepared for and something we have a plan in place for," Moore said.\nCrane is the third largest Navy installation in the world and is the 13th largest single site employer in Indiana, according to its Web site. The Web site states Crane's original mission was to "prepare, load, renovate, receive, store, and issue all ammunition, including pyrotechnics and illuminating projectiles, and to act as a principal source of supply at a most critical time -- the early days of World War II."\nCurrently, the Web site states, Crane "acts as a steward of microwave tubes, printed wiring boards, pyrotechnics, radiation hardened devices and batteries"
