Damn, what is the rest of the story?

[edie1960]

Nothing on Fox all day. Reported briefly on CNN. MSNBC???

[Timpanagos1]

Were they walking, or were they climbing on rocks?

Was an earlier thread. Now calling it a homemade bomb. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/blast-elie-wiesel-funeral-central-park-severs-man-leg-article-1.2697682?utm_content=buffer5aa71&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=NYDailyNewsTw

...appeared to be a firecracker

Sure.

[Dallas59]

A couple of people have already been shot and a few killed in Chicago this weekend. No news on that.

[thoughtomator]

It’s Ramadan. Shit blows up.

[TLI]

Soviet PFM-1 ?

"The FBI took over investigation of the case, a source said."

Well that'll take months and show it was a YouTube Video...

[headstamp 2]

Man, whole ankle and foot gone.

Just the bottom of the framis bone.

[ExSES]

Firecracker my ass! More likely plastique explosive with a detonator placed in an area known for rock-climbing!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

...a firecracker...

A firecracker? A firecracker blew off his foot? A FIRECRACKER?!!!! I don't think so!

[PLMerite]

7 PM ET news on WMAL NYPD or FBI guy said no evidence of terrorism.

[Mark was here]

My bet, Islam involved, and in a year the Islamist will be saying that it never happened.

My opinion, if this aint an act of war, nothing is. Shouldn’t we be going for 10,000 legs in return? One thing for sure, ignoring this is not going to make anyone stop.

[libertylover]

That was no firecracker that did that.

[Texas Fossil]

Officials also confirmed that the tiny explosive was in a brown bag

Strange statement, “tiny explosive”, yet it blew the entire foot off. “in a brown bag”, implying in a paper bag?

I don't believe this was a homemade fireworks project.

[Gritty]

Anti-personnel land mine? Toe popper?

Are the Muzzies now importing and seeding anti-personnel mines or are they making them from local materials in their mosque or garage bomb factories? The ugly possibilities are endless here.

[Carthego delenda est]

“It was a homemade device. They probably tried to light it on Friday night, but it didn’t go off because of the rain,” a source said. “[Investigators] found wet matches near it. It probably just went off because of the friction of him stepping on it.”

“Officials also confirmed that the tiny explosive was in a brown bag and did not appear to be designed to be pressure-sensitive.

“There is some forensic evidence that indicates that it was not meant go off by someone stepping on it,” Torre said. “It was there longer than a day.”

[fso301]

Sounds like a toe popper

[Yaelle]

Well, finally we know the victim and his friends are innocent. I am really sorry for that poor guy.
