A 911 caller warned of further explosions right after the blast that rocked Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and injured 29 people, The Post has learned.
“I’m looking at the explosion down the block. There will be more,” the unidentified male said, claiming to be standing at 23rd Street and Seventh Avenue in the aftermath of the terrifying incident, according to law-enforcement sources Sunday.
The bomb appears to have been a pressure-cooker device, sources said.
Investigators have obtained surveillance video of a person placing another unexploded device — a pressure-cooker bomb — that was later removed from 27th Street, the sources added.
That device was found by an older woman who was phoned by a friend checking on her in the wake of the explosion around 8:30 p.m. Saturday, sources said.
The woman went outside her home and noticed the bomb inside a plastic bag, then called 911.
State police secured the device, and it was taken to the NYPD firing range at Rodman’s Neck for investigation, sources said.
Initial analysis of the garbage Dumpster that was ripped apart in the blast suggests whatever blew up was placed outside the bin, sources said.
The blast pattern shows the metal is bent inward, and an explosion inside the Dumpster would have bent the metal outward, sources said.
Meanwhile, sources said investigators were “vetting” an online Tumblr page on which someone claiming to be “the NY Bomber” took responsibility for the blast and said the motive was a response to anti-gay “violence and oppression.”
“I did it because I cannot stand society. I cannot live in a world where homosexuals like myself as well as the rest of the LGBTQ+ community are looked down upon by society,” one post says.

Went every day for a month. :)
I can DEFINITELY appreciate that.
Libs are too outnumbered here on south shore to speak up when we talk pro Trump in places.
Staten Island is pretty secure on the south shore from that nonsense.
Queens, BKLN, Manhattan, Bronx and North Shore of SI are GONE.
I am glad for you that you left. I hope mother is faring well and it was good of you to take that into account when dealing with this moron.
To answer your first question, no, you cannot call yourself a Staten Islander if you are going into the city to work and rubbing shoulders with a bunch of Brooklynites and Bronxites. That is too much psychological contamination. Now if you lived in Tottenville, or in selected circumstances anywhere south of Bay Terrace, and worked on the island or in Perth Amboy, IMO you could get away with it. Sorry.
Agree with your comments in the 2nd post. When I lived on the south shore, I always had to wait in line for at least an hour to cast my ballot in Presidential elections. I moved to Manhattan for a few years later in life—heavy duty Dem-Lib district. Never had to wait to vote for more than about 30 seconds after I walked into the polling place. Of course, I was probably one of about 3 people in that E.D. who voted Pubbie or Conservative. Funny how that worked in a Dem-run city.
After TBI and LONG recovery, working on Staten Island now :)
Found decent pay and can’t make the trip to Manhattan any more.
Older now AND married so dont miss Manhattan all that much.
I fought DAY and NIGHT at investment banks in the city with ARMIES of liberals.
I can gladly assure you that they changed my opinion not one iota. Must have worked with 30 gay guys and some were very nice guys. Most were nuts. Never changed my stance on the gay marriage nonsense.
Abortion? Forget about it. Surprised I didn’t get fired!!
Some would whisper to me in dark corners that they agreed on certain things and many said they respected that i didn’t back down because i was outnumbered 40 to 1
I lived near the mall till 6. Near wagner high school till 18. Great Kills till 30. 30 to 48 in Grasmere.
NICE neighborhood but only a mile away from where the BAD places start.
Seen them to much when i drove livery for Mid ISland and PDQ.
Lots of Irish in Tottenville, no? :) jk
Used to be a great strip club on that corner, my uncle was a super in one of the buildings.
I would not be surprised if there was increased chatter this weekend that other things were planned. We flew from Indianapolis to Minneapolis yesterday and we had three bomb sniffing dogs on the flight with us who had been called in to work the vikings game.
WHERE IS OBAMA ?
Sounds like the Manhattan scene I knew. Infested wall-to-wall with hard-core left-wingers. And more than a few gays, who almost all were left wing. Got out of there 15-20 yrs ago. Rarely gone back, don’t miss it. Have not gotten back to the Island either, except to visit/neaten up family plots in the cemetery every few years when I can.
Good luck. May the next Mayoral election turn out that wacko Del Blasio.
The despicable criminals that have taken control of this once great country wouldn't hesitate to nuke an entire city to eliminate Trump and what he represents.
We just can't let them succeed. Keep an ear to the ground, your head on a swivel and Pray constantly for the good men and women that stand guard against any such catastrophe.
I hate deblasio.
Pop is buried all the way out on hylan, forget the name of that cemetery, not really far from hylan and main.
Oh quit.
” The sandy hook crises was used as a means to further fun control. “
Why on earth would anyone want to control fun? :-)
.
Sorry. ...Gun, GVHD In my eye from my stem cell transplant and auto correct are not a good mix.
Don’t be sorry-—it was a humorous mistake.
.
I saw in the article linked by Drudge that DeBlasio has stated that it may be “political.” So the liberals are floating that line of cr@p in hopes that the culprit just happens to have registered as a republican 3 decades ago.
The desperation is strong with this one.
We all know there will be more.
But if WE say it, we’re branded as *islamophobes* or some such other nonsense.
If muslims say it, liberals are all shocked.
Do you know what I fear most for humanity?
Just such a device. A black hole generator.
You know some terrorist would use it to destroy the world.
It has been reported that the devices appear to have been made by the same bomb maker.
IMHO, there is little doubt that all three of these these were Islamic Terror attacks.
I would normally say that they were probably individual acts of Sudden Jihad Terror Syndrome. (Which I kept track of from 2002-2009 here: http://www.jeffhead.com/sjs/)
But since they all occurred within a few hours of one another...I have doubts.
It could well have been orchestrated, all three by one group or set of people. Particularly that they believe some of the bombs in to different locations were made by the same people.
So you think Hillary will be exempt from same??
Why target Marines? Have you forgotten the crazy Rev. Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church targeting military funerals because the military liberalized its gay acceptance policies? There are nuts on every side of the issues and also off in deep space la la land.
