"An Uber driver ferrying a woman and two little girls was caught in Saturday night’s bomb blast — and by Sunday afternoon, the FBI was dismantling his car.

The driver said he’d picked up a woman and two girls and they were driving along W. 23rd St. in Chelsea around 8:30 p.m. — unaware that in seconds his car was going to be caught in a storm of shrapnel." “I just picked them up over there on 23rd St. and Seventh and then boom there was an explosion,” driver Md.

Interesting that he drove a cab then and he said he had never been out of New York.

I dated an Indian woman and the first meal she made for me had fish heads in it.

This is not out of the ordinary. A large murder case in the Northeast and in CA is predicated on the use of Uber drivers in order to assault and kill a lot of young males.

Funny thing; last night they were talking about the makeup of those who were injured in the explosion .. it was mostly males .. I found that very interesting.
