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.

“I call for an immediate ban on pressure cookers!”

Well I do think that you already have to pass a background check to buy one.

[reaganaut]

That is not enough! They need to all be banned and destroyed. That will stop terrorism! No one needs pressure cookers!

Practically have to give up your first born for a can of spray paint.

That’s the first thing I thought of.

And nails. No more nails.

Wow, you’re getting some good info. I need to get on Twitter one of these days...

Boom sound from 27th between 6th and 7th. Controlled explosion?

[sheikdetailfeather]

LOL! I follow so many news agencies on twitter and love it. Wow! Per Fox right now, the police moved the media out of sight and then they heard a boom (27th street...)

[ShivaFan]

The first thing I hear out of every pathetic Democrat’s mouth is “there is no evidence this is terrorism... maybe it is, maybe it’s not”...

Why are these Democrats more concerned about trying to determine it is NOT terrorism than finding out if this was terrorism (second device now found, possible pressure cooker bomb, now another BOOM goes off just now)?

Answer: THE DEMOCRATS PIGS ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS MAY IMPACT HILLARY’S RUN THAN OUR SAFETY AND THE SECURITY OF THIS NATION.

Fellow news junkie here. Yep... I need to get on Twitter. :-)

Hmmm....

Law enforcement sources say second device is a pressure cooker with cell phone and wires attached found in a plastic bag.

Wow. Wasn't that two news sources now that reported the same?

[nutmeg]

We all know what this is... those Amish are acting up again.

You will love it. You get to see spats live and it is like having a continuous nonstop scanner day and night. You can search for keywords and names and follow and unfollow people. If you have an important message to tweet it is best to put it on a popular hashtag (#NYC) to make sure a lot of people see it.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Yep.

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the info. Are you pretty much anonymous on Twitter (as opposed to Facebook)?

I know public figures use their real names as Twitter handles, but do you recommend using your real name?

[nutmeg]

I’m not trying to find out your Twitter name... I’m trying to come up with one for myself! :-)
