Bombing in New York City

Broadcast news is reporting that a man wearing a suicide vest was injured when the device malfunctioned prematurely at the New York City Port Authority. From Fox News;

NYPD and the FDNY confirmed to Fox News they are investigating reports of an explosion “of an unknown origin” near 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue. Police tweeted A, C, E subways lines are being evacuated.

It’s unclear if there are any injuries at this time. Several people wrote on social media there was mass chaos at the bus terminal, some saying there was a “stampede” when an explosion was heard.

From ABC6;

Sources tell ABC News a possible pipe bomb was detonated in passageway below ground at the Port Authority.

One person has been taken into custody, sources say.

There have been few injuries, police say. Police believe the situation has been contained

The New York Post says this is the bomber;

The man – a 27-year-old who lived in Brooklyn and is possibly of Bangladesh origin – had wires attached to him and a five-inch metal pipe bomb and battery pack strapped to his mid-section as he walked through the Manhattan transit hub, sources said.

The man partially detonated the device, which he was carrying under the right side of his jacket, prematurely inside the passageway to the A, C, and E trains at 8th Avenue and W. 42ndStreet at around 7:40 a.m., sources said.

Police took the man into custody.

    1. …don’t forget the tiny offshoot of the LABIA: the Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerant Tree Dwellers (CLIT)… hard to find but just as deadly.

      1. Just like the Guerilla Surveillance Platoon Operators of Tonga (G-SPOT) – No man has ever been able to find them, either.

        1. Too small to matter. In these days of cyber warfare it’s miniscule e-mission capabilities have rendered it impotent.

  1. One thing I’ve noticed is that islamic terrorists love to play calendar date games with their attacks. Remember the 3/11 attack on the Spanish train station in 2004, the 12/11 suicide bombing in Algiers in 2007, and the 9/11 attack on Benghazi in 2012? Dollars to Doughnuts this attacker is a Religion of Peacer…

    1. I thought they used a different (lunar) calendar, though?

      That’s why Ramadan moves around each year, it’s on a Lunar calendar, not a Julian calendar.

      I think when I was in Kuwait in 2004 it hit around late September to mid October or something.

      1. Yes, the Moslems use a different calendar. But islamic terrorists apparently love to use the western calendar dates of the 11th of the month to launch attacks, mainly as a psychological weapon of fear against westerners in “honor” of the original 9/11/2001 terrorist attack date on the western calendar…

    2. Well, they haven’t done 10/11, 8/11, 6/11, 5/11, 4/11 and of course, the most famous of all, 7/11, where I think you can still get the Big Gulp.

    3. I recall someone typing up an article about their fascination with the number “11” unlike us Westerners who are more attuned to “10”. One reason why the Benghazi attack was such a big deal, 11 years after 9/11.

      I thought the train attack in Madrid was 7/7 though? Or am I thinking about another attack?

      1. You’re thinking of the London terror attacks which occurred on 7/7/2005, one day after London was announced as the host city for the 2012 Summer Olympics.

      2. I think that was the IRA that did the London bombing, or at least claimed to.

        The Madrid commuter train bombings were March 11, 2004. 191 people were killed, more than 1,800 injured. It was originally blamed on ETA, a Basque separatist group, but that was later discarded as the investigation turned toward Moroccan Islamic militants (GICM) sponsored by al Qaeda.

        1. Okay, then the London bombing was first blamed on the IRA, but they said they didn’t have anything to do with it. Sinn Fein was trying to go legit.

  2. According to Fox News;

    Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC his sources in the department said the explosion was an “ISIS-inspired attack.” Bratton said the suspect was a man in his 20s from Bangladesh.

    But, who knows. All kinds of people tell MSNBC all kinds of stuff that is wrong, lately.

      1. Yeah! Up With People will teach you how to name all 50 states in alphabetical order. “50 Nifty United States” … That song is top secret, I tell ‘ya.

    1. If there was ever a time for hippies to run around with signs saying “BAN THE BOMB”, it’s now, they need to do it around mosques and jizzlamic centers.

    1. Pretty sure this was solely because the sodas are still too large. Who needs more than 12 ounces of soda? I demand sensible portion control. I am clearly too stupid to make my own choices. Big soda is just a tool of the denim industry. Conspiring to make me buy larger and larger pants. Where does this lunacy stop?

      1. In this case, just one piece. He had a premature detonation, which seems to happen a lot with those islamic types I hear. Goats Anonymous is full of stories about it.

      1. For a time after the Boston Marathon it was looking like you’d be put on a watch list for buying a pressure cooker.

    1. Shovels. Shovels are definitely bad things. Just ask the Shovel Tossing Master whatshisname. Giduck? Where are you?

  3. Not really sure how a device malfunctions prematurely. It looks to me like it malfunctioned right about on time, maybe even a bit late.

        1. *HYUK*, *HYUK*, at least I wasn’t a premature “shot” in the back seat of an AMC Pacer, now you need to get back to buffing the hallways!

  4. Woke up just a little bit ago. Fox was reporting about the bombing so I switched thru the channels to see what else was being reported on the bombing.

    MSNBC was talking about the number of hours Trump watched TV a day.

    CNN was reporting about the amount of Diet Coke the President drank each day.

    I give it about 10 more minutes before MSNBC and CNN to start blaming Trump for it.

    1. OH, well, just how much Diet Coke DOES DTrump drink each day?

      I gave that crap up two years ago and I’ve lost 40 pounds. Maybe I should let him know it’s not a good choice of cold beverages.

      1. I’ve been waiting for the studies to show that it isn’t healthy. Every morbidly obese person I’ve known has drank that stuff like it was going out of style. Fake sugar has got to mess with your system somehow.

        1. I quit the diet drinks cold turkey about two years ago and didn’t look back. I’d been drinking them since I was 15.

      2. I have no doubts that it does. When Coca Cola stopped using saccharine, which was bitter, in the 1970s and started using aspartame, I thought it was great. No sugar, no calories, right? Wrong. It does something to the metabolism and the hunger center in the brain, and no matter what, you can’t drop that extra weight. It just keeps piling on.
        Stop using it, drink iced/hot tea, water, juice, whatever – that stops the whole cycle cold.

          1. Amen. Stopped drinking beer and went to bourbon and my gout mostly stopped. But after the first three 12-ouncers I’m pretty buzzed.

        1. I think you are right about those “diet” drinks. The only thing worse is drinks sweetened with corn sugar or sucrose.

    2. Don’t forget about the other breaking news that was so substantially important, Trump eats KFC with a fork. Oh and sometimes he eats taco bowls too.

        1. I thought he had an assistant button his clothing and zip his fly since his hands are reported to be the size of a toddler’s?

  5. Probably used black iron pipe instead of galvanized and neglected to grease the threads.

    OR

    Used pvc and wore silk undies with a rayon shirt thus becoming his own spark generator.

    1. How to know you’re a bad suicide bomber? You blow yourself up and nobody else gets hurt.

      How to know you are the worst suicide bomber? Your vest goes off and you don’t even suicide. Like a Kamikaze hitting a trampoline.

      1. That’s what was referred to as a “Wile E. Coyote Bomber” in one of the primer books they gave us prior to A-stan. One instance given was when a hadji decided to make a bicycle IED by packing the frame with plastique and strap some mortar shells to the rear rack for extra punch. While he was pedaling it at oh-dark-thirty throughout the streets of Kabul, he hit a bump just right and *BOOM*, he blew himself and the bicycle to confetti, but other than a broken window or two there was no other damage.

  6. Maybe they had Clock Boy work on the trigger/timer. Another of the Religion of Pieces greatest hits? My question is this, if he suffered from a malfunction of his vest, and he dies of his injuries, does he only get 36 goats instead of 72? Inquiring minds want to know.

  7. Well, it IS Monday. Obviously, this is a disgruntled commuter protesting the crowded subway lines in NYC.

    From the picture, it looks like he blew his arm off. I wonder if it hurt.

    1. The Fake News CNN is already saying the motivation for the attack is because Trump acknowledged the reality that Jerusalem is the de facto capital of Israel. And that was reported on Wolfie’s show before this POS was even fully identified .

      1. Of course they did. Rushes to judgement only happen if you have a white guy to blame. Without the embassy to blame it on, we’d be hearing about how he is a “lone wolf” and “inspired” by ISIS but not part of ISIS and how we shouldn’t assume he’s Muslim or did it in the name of Allah.

      1. I think I could get Hostess cakes and some something with chocolate chips and butter. Food experiments are something I enjoy.

    1. I’ll bet he lay there thinking “I done ducked up being a suicide bomber. How pathetic can you be?”

    1. I was just pondering the similarities with the Underwear Bomber …

      Shades of the Gallows of Haman.

    2. What about the Shoe Bomber?

      Seriously, some of these guys just can’t hold a candle to the Unabomber.

  8. Scrape up what’s left of Akayed off the sidewalk and send him back to Bangladesh.

    Or at least half way.

    1. Nah, just let him lay there as a warning.
      Kinda like the wrecks they used to place in the median to warn drivers.

  9. Watch for the “news” to embargo this story, at least until after the Alabama senator is chosen, and then it is all the fault of Trump!! 11!!!

  10. I don’t think we can call it a “suicide vest” because he’s still alive. How about an “extremely painful vest that promises several meetings with Bubba, Thor, Julio and Mr. Tiny?”

    Isn’t calling it a suicide vest more like fake news? //SARC//

      1. His punishment will be to “Hang from the Tree of Woe in the Vest of Pain”…..

        I really like it.

  11. Many of these inbred ‘Slamo turds have IQ’s in the 70-85 range, so we shouldn’t expect them to be very effective if they fashion their own bombs without any training from someone who knows how to build an effective bomb. Remember, the Times Square bomber couldn’t get his car bomb to detonate. And he didn’t look quite as retarded as this wog.

    1. Thank god they ain’t too bright. I, like most on here, could wander out to the garage and whip up something better than that tool did.

      1. Especially with how the MSM always goes into detail of how it was made, with what it was made, and how easy it is for anyone to make. With their 3D renderings and all. It’s like an IED engineering class.

        Like Saddam only needed a satellite subscription to get all the intel he’d want on US forces and their expected attack date/time, the terrorists can just watch our news to find out where the last guy went wrong and improve upon it.

      2. I recall a classmate of mine in high school chemistry making a “rocket”, or basically, a test tube full of chemicals which, when heated by the Bunsen burner, produced a pressurized focused afterburner flame that created sparks, noise and a small amount of smoke.

        You probably can’t do that now in high school. Do they still have chemistry classes in high school? Or are the kids too young for something so dangerous?
        I know that the Gilbert chemistry set my brother got for Christmas one year was more fascinating to me than it was to him. I learned how to make invisible ink that could be heated and read with a flashlight. It was potassium cyanide and something else, probably lemon juice. He was more interested in wiring oil lamps to turn them into electric lamps, and building airplanes.

    2. I think your estimate of their IQ range is far too high. But I know that you like to be generous when you can.

      1. Yes, I am also known as rgr769-the Beneficent. I like to give ‘Slamo scum and proggies the benefit of the doubt.

  12. Sure would like for them to publicize under which immigration criteria each of these miscreants was allowed to enter the country.

    1. Chain migration and Trump jumped all over it like ugly on a Gwen Moore, Shelia Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi, and last but not least Diane, the Rhinestone Cowboy Hat Clown, Black !!!

    1. It is just like when the MSM got their panties in a wad over what shoes Melania was wearing when she left the WH for Puerto Rico. Big, Big bogus news.

      1. They sure tried to hype up what the San Juan Mayor was saying until the truth came out about her!

  13. We should be grateful that these ISIS “inspired” clowns are so incompetent. That won’t last forever. As long as we keep hiding our head in the sand about our non assimilated Muslim guests we’re going to have these types of attacks.

  14. Maybe his first words to Responders were “HELP, I’ve fallen and I can’t blow up!!”?

  15. Explosion of “Unknown Orgin”???? Lol
    Seems to be one of South Asian orgin, Aloha Snackbar!!
