Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MoreBomb Explosion in Times Square Disrupts Subway Service
A small bomb was set off in Times Square around 3:45am today. The explosion occurred on the doorstep of the Army/Navy recruitment station on the island in the center of Times Square.
As a result, the police immediately suspended subway service in Times Square. Luckily, trains kept moving and simply bypassed Times Square. However, since TS is a major transfer hub, bypassing it makes it a little tricky for commuters.
Luckily, service resumed fairly quickly…or somewhat quickly.
The station was/is basically on super secure mode. Trains entering the station were boarded by police dogs and checked before being allowed to proceed. In the station itself, there were officers in SWAT gear with machine guns. There were many people being randomly stopped and checked as well.
This will likely continue for the next few days. However, as the mayor said, it’s back to business as usual in Times Square, with a few more automatic weapons near by.

Who would even want to blow up Times Square? Whats up with all the bombing these days? I think Bush should stop hitting on Iraq and 75% of terrorism will spot immediately because there won’t be any cause to fight back.
ReplyGreat idea ultimatum, lets take the pressure off them so they have more time to plan something bigger. Actually Afghanistan is more like the pressure and Iraq is more like a distraction an easy place to for terrorists to travel to in order to kill Americans.
I understand we cant be there forever but hey just give us enough time to come up with a plan to prevent future bombings.
… but anyway the bombing @ the Time Square recruiting station was most likely executed by some crazy left wing hippies (aka. some of the biggest hypocrites on this planet) these people are terrorists just of a different breed.
ReplyB, ultimatum,
So are tiny little pipe-bombs with a baby white plume of smoke considered “bombings” these days? I guess in America they are.
ultimatum – yeah good idea. Let’s just back out of the middle east and let all the terrrrists kill us before we kill them. If we kill them all off over the course of say, 10 years, we’ll solve the problem and there will be no more bombings or terism (its not like the youth of these countries is going to be upset by anything we do in the future…). The best solution is to kill them, not leave them alone to build bombs and new plans.
ReplyWow.
ultimatum – Please explain, preferably in essay form.
Lilsubwaybaby – To answer your question: “are tiny little pipe-bombs with a baby white plume of smoke considered “bombings” these days?” Yes, they are. If you use the word “bomb” in your definition, then “bombings” is the correct term.
ReplyI would like to report a bombing. On my train ride home last nigh, I saw some young teenage rascals throwing smoke bombs around on a golf course.
ReplyI agree with B, this is most likely a left wing home grown burnout. The bomb was very crude, in the video it looks like he has to light the fuse. Also from the ammount of smoke he is most likely using old fireworks gun powder. He obviously doesn’t want to hurt anyone judging from the time of morning he struck, but the scary thing is he had to know this is the most heavily watched areas of the city. If he could pull this off, what else is possible? Security is an illusion. BE ALERT of people around you.
ReplyLil- You’re right to correct me on that. Smokebombs do indeed contain the word bomb and are not in fact explosives. I was wrong.
However, anything that explodes and is decribed as a “pipe bomb”, regardless of the size, is indeed a bomb worth noting.
ReplyThat “B” word is a very potent word these days. Doesn’t matter where you live in the world, people know what it means and immediatly become scared.
That’s pretty tragic if you ask me. It’s hard to trust anymore since many want to just hurt our own!?
ReplyI have observed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate deal, a fee is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers will not “save” the commission rate. Rather, they try to earn the commission through doing the agent’s occupation. In doing this, they expend their money plus time to perform, as best they will, the obligations of an realtor. Those assignments include getting known the home by means of marketing, delivering the home to willing buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to prompt an offer, scheduling home inspections, handling qualification inspections with the mortgage lender, supervising repairs, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
ReplyThanks for discussing your ideas in this article. The other issue is that every time a problem appears with a pc motherboard, people today should not take the risk involving repairing the item themselves because if it is not done properly it can lead to permanent damage to an entire laptop. It’s usually safe just to approach your dealer of a laptop for that repair of that motherboard. They’ve got technicians who definitely have an expertise in dealing with pc motherboard difficulties and can get the right diagnosis and accomplish repairs.
ReplyI have learned new things through the blog post. Yet another thing to I have recognized is that usually, FSBO sellers can reject a person. Remember, they can prefer not to ever use your solutions. But if a person maintain a comfortable, professional romance, offering support and staying in contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win a business interview. From there, a listing follows. Many thanks
ReplyI have noticed that online degree is getting preferred because attaining your degree online has become a popular selection for many people. Many people have not really had a chance to attend a conventional college or university however seek the improved earning potential and career advancement that a Bachelor Degree gives. Still other people might have a qualification in one discipline but wish to pursue anything they now develop an interest in.
ReplyIn my opinion that a home foreclosure can have a significant effect on the applicant’s life. Mortgage foreclosures can have a Six to few years negative affect on a client’s credit report. The borrower who’s applied for a home loan or virtually any loans as an example, knows that a worse credit rating will be, the more tricky it is to obtain a decent mortgage. In addition, it can affect a new borrower’s chance to find a good place to let or hire, if that gets the alternative houses solution. Good blog post.
ReplyIn line with my study, after a property foreclosure home is available at a bidding, it is common for your borrower in order to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the loan. There are many loan companies who make an effort to have all costs and liens cleared by the subsequent buyer. Having said that, depending on specific programs, rules, and state laws there may be a few loans that aren’t easily solved through the switch of personal loans. Therefore, the responsibility still lies on the lender that has obtained his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you for sharing your opinions on this blog site.
ReplyI believe that avoiding processed foods will be the first step for you to lose weight. They will taste good, but processed foods have got very little vitamins and minerals, making you feed on more simply to have enough vitality to get throughout the day. When you are constantly consuming these foods, transitioning to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will aid you to have more vigor while having less. Good blog post.
ReplyThanks for your submission. I would love to say this that the first thing you will need to do is determine if you really need credit improvement. To do that you need to get your hands on a copy of your credit rating. That should really not be difficult, ever since the government mandates that you are allowed to obtain one no cost copy of the credit report every year. You just have to check with the right individuals. You can either check out the website for the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the main credit agencies instantly.
ReplyOne more thing to say is that an online business administration training is designed for learners to be able to easily proceed to bachelor degree programs. The 90 credit college degree meets the lower bachelor diploma requirements when you earn your own associate of arts in BA online, you should have access to the latest technologies with this field. Several reasons why students want to get their associate degree in business is because they can be interested in the field and want to find the general training necessary prior to jumping into a bachelor diploma program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you provide as part of your blog.
