The street is lined with brownstones, and there's a ballet studio and a small Muslim school. So he drove the van 15 blocks to 37th Street and parked it at a desolate waterfront location behind the Costco store and next to some little-used piers.

I can't decide if that was unbelievably brave or unbelievably stupid. I guess since nothing happened on the 15 block drive, I'll go with brave...damn brave.

Stupid. They didn't identify the explosive, but moos love to brew TATP "Mother of Satan". The stuff blows up if you jiggle it.

As much as I hate thieves, at least this one doesn't approve of murdering innocents.

I’d bet it was neither. I bet that he was already driving when he thought “What is that smell?”; and then it was too late.
