So this started, it was in the fall of 1940, when an employee of the Consolidated Edison Company in Manhattan discovered a bomb in the company's main offices. Shit. Along with a note that said, Con Edison Crooks, this is for you. Oh, damn. The bomb was discovered before it detonated and no one was harmed. That's good.

But a year later, the company received a second bomb, followed by a note to the NYPD where the bomber announced that he was going to make no more bombs for the duration of World War II, but then he would begin again after the war ended. So this motherfucker's playing a long game. Oh, yeah, playing a... You don't call him the Mad Bomber for nothing. No.

The Mad Bombers, it was literally a reign of terror on New York. It lasted for a long time. Remember, this is the fall of 1940. He was not... He ends up being captured, luckily, so don't worry, New York. Good news. But he was captured in 1957. Oh, wow. It was a lot. And when they finally got him... Him as a person and his motives didn't make a lot of sense to New York.

So in the early afternoon of November 18th, 1940, the desk sergeant at the 20th squad of the NYPD received a call from a very anxious employee of, like we mentioned before, the Consolidated Edison Company, Con Ed, we'll call it.

According to the caller, one of the Con Ed employees was on a break when he noticed a little, you know, wooden toolbox just sitting unattended on a window ledge on the second floor. I'm glad he thought this was a little weird because if he had just ignored it, it would have been a big problem. Can you imagine finding a fucking bomb on your break? No. lunch. You're just on lunch.
