galrads: Were you home at the time of the explosion, M? Did you hear it?
I was home at the time of the New Jersey explosion. Seaside Park is an hour and a half away from me so I didn't know anything about it until I saw the NJ news. Whoever planted that device got away and I'm thinking they went to New York since the explosive device in NY is much the same as the one in NJ

That's terrible and no doubt people are feeling pretty scared. Although there were injuries, thankfully nobody was killed. I hope they catch the person responsible for this.

They have corrected the injured to be 29 and one of them is a pregnant woman in serious condition.The second device in NY appears to be a pressure cooker in a backpack. If you remember that's what the explosive devices were like in Boston.
Hopefully the street cameras will catch this person(s). The FBI did a fabulous job of catching the two who killed several in Boston. Hopefully they can do it again in NY and NJ.

Cripes, I hope everyone comes out of this okay and the baby is unharmed.
Interesting that the same setup was used as the one in Boston and I'm wondering if it's linked in some way.

UPDATE Monday, September 19, 2016
An Elizabeth man is being sought by authorities for questioning in connection with Saturday's explosion in New York.

Meanwhile, the FBI is searching an apartment and fried chicken eatery below it at 104 Elmora Avenue in Elizabeth, according to Mayor Christian Bollwage.
"They are going to be here for hours as they search every inch (of the places)," Bollwage said.
Juan Ramos, 20, who lives nearby said he was friends with the family that owned the restaurant and apartment being searched. Ramos said the family was private but "nothing out of the ordinary."
"I've seen him around all the time," Ramos said of Rahami. He said he was friends with son of the owner but didn't really know Rahami, and was unsure how or it he was related to the family.
"I haven't seen him recently."
The Saturday evening blast on West 23rd Street in Chelsea injured 29 people. On Sunday night, the FBI also detained five people for questioning.
Rahami has not been linked to Saturday's explosion in Seaside Park or the blast early Monday in Elizabeth.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
