CHELSEA, Manhattan — Multiple people were injured during an outdoor explosion in Chelsea Saturday night.

The explosion happened at 135 23rd St. between Sixth and Seventh avenues.

It was not immediately clear how many people were injured or the severity of their injuries.

The FDNY is on the scene with the NYPD.

The explosion comes after a pipe bomb exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey near the Semper Five 5K Charity Run Route. The device was placed in a garbage can.

Yup. I’m thinking Islam never left.

I didn’t hear “persuasion”.. Sounded like speculation

Okay, I'll give you that. It just pisses me off that we all have to play the "it's not terrorism" game.

Until it is terrorism.

Hell is being stuck on a crowded PATH train between Jersey City and 39th at rush hour on Monday’s. It’s 90% muzzies and they stink like sh!t.

[milford421]

I say terrorism. There, I said it. I’d rather err on the side of caution and call it what we all know it is.

LOL

SHRILLARY! on her nasty plane looking like she is sleep walking talking to her presstitutes about whether this is a bomb or not!

[milford421]

Ahhhh, a Jersey guy. Stay safe on that PATH train Monday.

“Yup, just heard that. “2nd device possibly a pressure cooker.””

Don’t you know that in a little while Deblasio is going announce “False Alarm” and that it was just some homeless people cooking dinner.

I’m not saying it’s Islamic terrorism but..........it’s Islamic terrorism.

[milford421]

DeBlasio is a useless, corrupt nutcase, IMO. How long till he gets out?

[milford421]

I’m saying so too.

[Semper911]

20 plus victims were shrapnel from a pressure cooker being loaded with nails and ball bearings like Boston

In the video, people pretty far away from the blast (across the street and diagonal) were clearly injured in the first instant. The bomb was not in the Dumpster. That would have held in the shrapnel.

[milford421]

I completely agree.

[Yaelle]

Maybe it was left beside the dumpster to look like trash.

[nutmeg]

Holy crap! Thanks for that link. That looks to me to be a similar explosion to the Boston Marathon one.

[nutmeg]

Pinging some New Yorkers... Are you following this?

It just pisses me off that we all have to play the "it's not terrorism" game.

Until it is terrorism.

I definitely agree with you there!

I think it was Comrade DeBlasio and the new Police Commissioner that "cautioned" we can't call it terrorism yet. Yeah, right...

[nutmeg]

I think there are dry runs way too often here and around the world. Wouldn’t be our first. Remember Times Square? Recently Notre Dame, Synagogue in Paris...lots of dry runs.

Yes, you're right. We are living in some sad, dangerous times... :-(

Don’t you know that in a little while Deblasio is going announce “False Alarm” and that it was just some homeless people cooking dinner.

Oh, but of course! Yeah, that's it. Nothing to see here, move along...

[reaganaut]

I call for an immediate ban on pressure cookers!
