Explosion in NYC port authority
A guy blew himself up with what they are saying is a pipe bomb. There’s a video of it on breaking 911 on twitter.

Suspected bomber in custody after explosion at Port Authority

By Larry Celona, Yaron Steinbuch and Natalie Musumeci

A suicide bomber set off a device at the Port Authority bus terminal Monday morning, law enforcement sources said.

The suspected bomber – who had wires attached to him – was armed with a pipe bomb and a battery pack, sources said.

He was taken into custody after the device partially detonated inside the passageway to the N, Q and R trains, according to sources.

There was at least one injury and the wounded was the suspect. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital. His identity was not immediately known.

Emergency personnel flooded the scene.

Mayor de Blasio has been briefed on the incident.

This is a developing story.

Link to the video. Looks like it went off prematurely.

Way to go, champ. All you accomplished was screwing up everyone's morning commute and putting yourself in the hospital and in handcuffs. Freakin' loser.

Good thing this guy didn't know what he was doing.

Remind me of the OU football game from 2005. Guy stops near the stadium to fiddle with his backpack bomb, and ends up accidentally blowing himself up. No other injuries.

I hope he blew his hands off so he can’t build anymore bombs

Injured himself, eh?

Nothing trivial, I trust.

I think this should be viewed as a feel good story. The headline should read "Bumbling fool manages to hurt himself". Not even as good as jumping in front of a train or bus. But we may become overconfident. There are more of them than there are of us. Not to worry, as long as they keep blowing themselves up (painfully, I hope) sooner or later they'll stop trying.

Talk in the media about treating him as an enemy combatant. What are the advantages assuming the ACLU wouldn't prevail? Everything in the Miranda rights off the table? More?

Cover him in bacon fat and feed him to the pigs. Live.

Just like Jeff Dunham’s Achmed, he had a premature detonation. Maybe we should call him Achmed the not quite dead terrorist.

I bet that smarts a bit. Looks like he may have caught his dangly bits in the blast too. Hopefully he successfully removed himself from the gene pool.

And nobody else injured. Nice! Headline could be: "ISIS terrorist blows himself up." You know, a feel-good Christmas story.

Excellent outcome! Lets issue many search warrants on computer, residence and friends. Then go after his buddies with the fervent hope and prayer that they resist.
Gotta love NYC. Major target for terror and you cant own a gun. Wait.... maybe I figured out something.

Before we jump to conclusions, are we sure he wasn't the latest victim of having a Samsung phone in his pocket?

Maybe that turd really was on the JV team. I mean, when a terrorist can't even blow himself up, you gotta be reaching the bottom of the barrel.
