The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stores millions of records in an underground vault near Salt Lake City. A suspicious white powder caused quite a scare in the Little Cottonwood Canyon vaults this afternoon. However, the powder turned out to be harmless.
Around noon, 45 workers were inside the vault. Two of them were moving pallets when they found the white powder. Both made contact with the powder, and one got it all over his arm.

Workers called 911, and United Fire Authority and hazmat crews quickly responded. They took the situation very seriously, but the substance turned out to be harmless fiberglass powder that somehow wound up in the shipment.
