The spectators were about halfway through the movie when the bomb went off. Oh, my. Causing panic and chaos among this very large crowd. At the request of the NYPD, the incident was minimized by the press the following day, with several papers ignoring it altogether. Radio City Musical. The fuck? How do you ignore that?
The Herald Tribune, who had received many of the bomber's letters, referred to the bomb as, quote, the work of a psychopath. Fair. While others used, like, very dismissive language to kind of minimize the danger. I would say that was pretty fucking dangerous.

That this guy is looking for attention, clearly. And I know that it's like, it's a hard line to walk. That's the thing. It's kind of like, you know, Zodiac and, you know, Jack the Ripper.

It's like when they're looking for the attention, you don't want to give it to them. But you also don't want to set it off anymore. So it's like... I can't say that I would know how to handle this, you know, as like an investigator and what to tell the press. And especially, again, during this time period. Exactly.
