And you're just trying to get away from everybody. Yeah, you're just trying to take a minute away from your fucking job. And then you have a bomb on your shoulders. And then you're like, now I have to report a bomb. Yeah, that's a lot. I just wanted to have my egg salad sandwich. That sounds good. It does.

So when the man approached the toolbox, he saw that it contained a four and a half piece of iron pipe, which was capped in both ends, which like immediately not good. And when he looked closer at it, he found a small piece of paper wrapped around it. So this person unwrapped the paper. Damn, that's brave as fuck.

Yeah. Don't do that. If ever you find a strange looking wooden box. Don't touch it, just report it. And found on that piece of paper... He found that it was a note written in neat block print that read, Con Edison Crooks, this is for you. A second line of text underneath it, it was written in a coarse gray substance, apparently. And it read, there is no shortage of powder boys.

And the note was simply signed F.P.,

So I think he's calling these bombs maybe powder boys. Oh. It's like a pipe bomb. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. The implications of the note obviously sent the employee into a full panic and he carefully set the toolbox down on the windowsill because remember this man is now holding this pipe bomb. Fuck. And he ran, luckily it didn't detonate, and he ran to the phone and called the police.

Later, when the note was tested, it was discovered that the second line of text was written in gunpowder. Oh. Which was the same substance that was packed into the pipe. Hate that. Powder boys. At the time, though, the NYPD officers who responded to the call had no idea what they were actually dealing with here.

Although bombings or threats of bombings had kind of increased across the city throughout the first half of the 20th century, just with like advancement of people knowing how to make these things. Yeah. Those matters were handled by the bomb and forgery squad, obviously. There's like a specialized thing.

So it's like when you have a group that's specially trained to do this stuff, the regular patrol officers are like, I don't really know what to do with this bomb. Yeah, call in the special guys.

Yeah, so when they were called in, they had to report this explosive device to that specialized squad, and they had to wait hours for the bomb and forgery squad to arrive, which I'm like, I feel like that squad should be a bit more prompt. Yeah. That's the thing. That's how I feel. I feel like they should be maybe those like... You got to have one foot out the door at all times kind of squad.

I feel like timeliness is next to godliness in that scenario. When it comes to bombs, I'd say so. When it comes to bombs. You don't know when that's going to go off. You don't.
