5:20Now PlayingThe terrorist who planted pipe bombs in New York and New Jersey train stations may have killed people if they had just used a cheaper, flimsier bag for the bombs. Ben Mankiewicz, Wes Clark Jr., Michael Shure, and Brett Erlich, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The bomb drama that rattled the New York region over the weekend arrived here on Sunday night when two men walked out of Hector’s Place Restaurant near the city’s train station and found a backpack containing five explosives resting atop a municipal garbage can, Mayor J. Christian Bollwage said.
After finding that the backpack contained “wires and a pipe,” the mayor said, the men dropped the item in the street and contacted the Elizabeth Police Department around 8:45 p.m. The police, in turn, called the Union County bomb squad, and the investigation was quickly turned over to theFederal Bureau of Investigation and the New Jersey State Police, Mr. Bollwage said.
The F.B.I. then sent in a pair of robots and determined that the backpack held five bombs, some of which were pipe bombs, the mayor said.
Around 12:30 a.m. on Monday, the robots tried to clip a wire to disarm one bomb and accidentally detonated it, Mr. Bollwage said. No injuries were reported.
He said around 3 a.m. on Monday that one robot was destroyed and another had a mechanical arm blown off.”*
