Not surprised. Do not want to “offend” the local Muslim community.

“fbi ruled out terrorism last night” Which means there is terrorism involved. Now way anyone could come to any conclusion with that debris field at darkness.

The CNN article was discussed up-thread. The FBI said they did not see any evidence of terrorism, and CNN interpreted that statement as the FBI stating there was no terrorism.

Giant crane coming in right now.Fireman are afraid of what they will find under the trains.Ladder 10 was first to arrive last night and found 2 dead under the train.

Again not surprised. Most likely they do not want people to “panic” big time, although I remember ISIS saying some time back they are calling for “lone wolves” to carry out terror attacks in the USA.

Septa train 4 minutes before on the same track had something thrown threw the Engineers window.Overpass is right there.Reporter says something fishy.

The FBI said they did not see any evidence of terrorism, and CNN interpreted that statement as the FBI stating there was no terrorism.

Like the old saying goes: Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
