ABC 7 News ^ | 9/18/16 | ABC NEWS

"The New York City Police Department said the explosion in Chelsea Saturday night that injured dozens of people was "definitely" a bomb, with components indicative of an IED being found at the blast site."

NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said investigators are working to determine the motivation behind the bombing and find out who did it. He described the multi-agency effort as a "very complex post-blast investigation."

"We definitely had a bombing last night on 23rd Street and we had a suspicious device on 27th Street," O'Neill said.

“The New York Post reported a letter that was partially written in Arabic was found in a plastic bag that held the second pressure cooker device in New York City Saturday night.

That device planted four blocks from the bomb that exploded in the Chelsea neighborhood wounding 29 people did not explode and was taken away by authorities for investigation.”

Unbelievable how political correctness causes some to see a bomb go off and then question if it really was a bomb.

I will definitely be in Grand Central tomorrow. I'll take some pictures if there's anything interesting to show you. There are usually at least a few military types in fatigues with semi-automatics, K-9 dogs, in and around Grand Central. I suppose there will be more of that tomorrow as Grand Central is a key transportation center for all those coming from the north.

Tuesday and Wednesday I have business in New Haven, CT so will not be back in the city until at least Thursday.

Hillary called it a bombing and in the same breath balmed Trump for calling it a bomb.

The reason for the denial is simple really. The media and government are in cahoots to deny Donald Trump any political advantage so any terrorist incident is going to be either ignored, downplayed or made to seem like it came from right wing lunatics (Trump supporters).

That is why they are so quick to say it's not terrorism or the work of muslims. They do not want to hand Trump any political points.

How was that a “suspicious device” on 27th street. Is suspicious device a pseudonym for a second bomb.

“How was that a “suspicious device” on 27th street. Is suspicious device a pseudonym for a second bomb.”

So a pressure cooker with a cell-phone attached is ‘suspicious’?

When it comes to mozlims, LEOs at levels above local all seem to be like Tolkien’s tree-shepherds, the Ents meeting for days to try and determine exactly what Merry and Pippin are—Orcs? Elves? Hobbits?
Then once they establish they are Hobbits, each time they meet they start from scratch.
It was a pressure cooker bomb. It was mozlims again.
Are you guys getting paid by the hour? Oh, you are.

The press is very stupid. I am not sure how they thought that this bomb thing was going to hurt Trump. I can only suspect that the press thought it was not a bomb. While the rest of us just assumed if a dumpster blew up in Manhattan, it was a bomb.

Now Hillary looks like an idiot who can’t see Captain Obvious at work. And Trump looks like one of us who sees a problem and immediately calls it for what it is. We the public can’t stand to be handled, especially when things are blowing up and people are getting hurt. Not hurt like that hurtful speech on college campus’s you wuss. But hurt like your leg just got blown off.
