That meant that although the police didn't know it at the time, FP had become, like we were just talking about, more skilled and sophisticated as a bomb maker in the decades since he had started doing this.

Which, like, Why the fuck is he still doing this? And in August, FP struck again with another bomb at Grand Central Station. A little past 9 p.m. on the night of August 27th, a bomb went off in a phone booth on the West Concourse. Like the earlier bombs, this one caused some damage, but no injuries. Wow. I know.

It is remarkable. The Grand Central bomb was followed a few weeks later by another bomb. This one placed in a phone booth in the lobby of the Con Ed offices at 4 Irving Place. If that doesn't raise some eyebrows. Yeah.

The bomb exploded and caused some damage to the lobby, but because it was detonated at 6.15 a.m., the only person in the building was a night watchman, and he wasn't in the lobby when it went off. So it's missing like any person. It's like really remarkable.

So yeah, in fact, the damage had been so minimal and mostly confined to the phone booth, the night watchman didn't even bother to call the police right away and waited several hours before even reporting it. Okay, that's a bad plan because there could be more. Yeah, that's wild. Where there's one bomb, as we find out, there's many. So the bombs all were pretty similar in their construction.

So one investigator or a few investigators were believing that they probably were constructed and placed by the same individual. Yeah. But because the bombs at Grand Central, the public library, and Con Ed appeared to have been detonated at a time when they were like... Because that's the thing. It's like he put them in places where people would be.

But he detonates them at times where people won't be there. Or not a lot of people will be there. Like 6.15 a.m. But what about the high traffic one? That's the one. It's like that one, you know... That stands out. Yeah, that one stands out. But a few of the other ones...

It almost looked like they were almost put to cause, because there's like conflicting ideas here because it's like there's shrapnel in them. It looks like there's clearly a, they're wanting to hurt someone. But then the times that a lot of them are placed or detonated, I should say, are interesting. Okay. You know? Yeah. Because it is crazy that they're not getting anyone. Right.

Like they're not hurting anyone. Investigators assumed because of this that maybe it was like a prank and they were detonating it on purpose when people wouldn't be there to cause damage and like chaos but not hurt anyone. Okay.

So they were so convinced that the bombs were the work of an, quote, addled prankster, that they were reluctant to provide any details to the press, saying it would just build up the ego of the nut who did it. Okay. I guess I sort of get that. I can kind of see where they're coming from. And again, this is like the 1950s, so like, you know. Yeah, a little different.
