September 19, 20169 yr Glad this wasn't worse. NYPD/FEDs seem to be doing a pretty good job in aftermath. Hope they get every one of them and fast.
September 19, 20169 yr How the bombs discovered in jersey Bollwage said two men discovered the backpack holding the bombs in Elizabeth at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday and took it "because they thought it was of some value."

September 19, 20169 yr They'll find this guy today or tomorrow if he's dumb enough to still be in the area.
September 19, 20169 yr To me this was a tremendous job of coordination from NYC/NJ/Transit and Feds. Excellent job isolating areas, finding the suspects and keeping the city going. Really admire their work.
