got off the bus after alittle delay which was strange. walked out and all the stores are closed and people were urged to evacuate the place. outside was chaos. people were told to cross the street through traffic. just a mess

suspect is a Bangladeshi from Brooklyn. Had bomb strapped to him.
Got through Lincoln tunnel  
Chris684 : 12/11/2017 8:52 am : link
And saw Port Auth cops hauling ass from tunnel to Port Authority.

Unloaded off bus as usual but then 8th ave exits were blocked off by cops forcing you to go to 9th ave.

Glad to be at my desk. Hope all other BBI commuters were unaffected.
Tis the season

Y'all be careful out there. Keep your eyes and ears open. If you see something - say something!
8th Avenue is just a massive staging area

Thankfully, device went off prematurely - would've detonated right in the middle of Times Square Station.

All buses being dropped off at 10th Avenue. May be a real mess of a commute home
Dad was in the building  
TurdFurguson : 12/11/2017 9:43 am : link
When it dentonated. He bolted to a cab as a reaction.
Press conference now  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 12/11/2017 9:54 am : link
The reality is that it's tough to stop a lone wolf, particularly if they get to Times Square / Port, downtown, etc.
Hopefully the suspect suffers immense pain and trauma

For the rest of his pathetic life.

0 deaths right?  
UConn4523 : 12/11/2017 9:59 am : link
I haven't seen anything, hoping that's the case...
glad to see reports of no one dead

Further evidence that you're a child.
This is the closest I've ever come to one of these things  
Chris684 : 12/11/2017 10:14 am : link
(and I wasnt that close) but still in the building. I was close enough that the police standing by were adamant that we clear the area and FAST, which was different than the usual "nothing to see here, keep moving" way of handling these situations when they are more under control.

My brother goes through there, my friends. We all have young kids. Makes you stop and think.

Thankfully I took a late bus today
