We sent a few Tweets and took a few pictures, and our networks helped disseminate the news using the #vognmagergade tag. We hung around for a while until the proper journalists turned up and then went back inside for a beer.
The incident turned out to be a false alarm but it was a good example of Twitter in action, and the first time it’s been used in Denmark to document a news event in real time.
Ernst Poulsen, a new media editor at the Danish national broadcaster DR, has covered the story in a terrific blog post (in Danish) here.
