The explosion that just occurred on the PATH train at Journal Square is apparently not terrorist related. While hundreds of commuters panicked, thinking it was gunshots or a bomb, apparently it was just kids setting off a stink bomb. Police arrived with guns drawn, and confusion ensued, but the matter is now being straighened out.
I should say, not me, but my cell phone buddy at the station is the eyewitness.

Your profile says that you are anonymous, as well as is this thread.
Just a heads-up. If you hear exaggerated stories in the media, take them with a grain of salt.
Do you think that you could include a city & state from your eye witness source? PATH is not a term known around the world for a train.
Sorry, I put New Jersey in the keywords. I thought the WTC attacks had made the PATH trains famous around the world.
I well remember my buddy Bill telling me about getting off the last PATH train into the WTC. The police officer standing there said: 'Run for your life!' He did. He was a Unix system administrator then, now he's an FBI agent.
Alex, I'll Path Trains for $200.00.
What city is Journal Square in?
Journal Square is a Jersey City stop on the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) rail line that runs between Newark and Manhattan.

Have you thought of moving away from NJ?
We did move. We were gone for years. We came back because we have extended family that needs us.
And they're blessed to have you, my friend. ;-)
Thank you Vel
