Episode 678: The Mad Bomber of New York (Part 1)

Despite being placed on one of the lower levels by track 27, there were no passerbys when the bomb went off. Wow. And no one was hit. That's amazing. Inside this pipe bomb, he had packed nuts and bolts in there, too.

Which is what, like, some of these fuckers do. Like, the Boston bombing is one of the ones that obviously very much sticks out to us. They put all this, like, fucking horrific shrapnel in it to get the most damage. To do extra damage, yeah. So since the bomb had already detonated by the time the police came to Grand Central Station, there was no need for the bomb squad.

But investigators still had little evidence to work with and initially attributed the incident to boys or pranksters. Y'all. I'm sorry. I know. A pipe bomb is not pranksters.

Yeah, the remains of the device were turned over to the bomb squad for analysis, but nearly a decade had passed since the bombs were discovered at the Con Ed building at this point. Wow. And this time no one recognized the pipes and their various components because it had kind of gone out of everyone's minds.

Even if someone had recalled the bomb discoveries back in 1941, it's unlikely they would have made, you know, the connection here. Yeah. Because this latest bomb, one, it went off. Right. So that's different from the other two. It also contained no gunpowder, but instead contained just one .25 caliber round that was rigged to a mechanism that would discharge at a predetermined time.

Right next to track 27. I can't believe that nobody was hit. Veterans on the bomb squad, however, would likely have recognized one thing. A cough drop. One cough drop contained in the pipe.

Why? No one knows. Why? But by that time, it had been disintegrated with the rest of the internal components, so they wouldn't have been able to see it anyways. Oh. Yeah.

But we know that it was there because we know it's the same guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the bomb at Grand Central failed to achieve much notice by the police or the press. Which is insane. Because they were kind of chucking it up to like, which I'm like, what kind of fucking teens are running around New York? For real.
