Possible terrorist attack in Brooklyn subway | Suspect arrested
- Thread starter Carolina Red
- Start date
Holy feck. I'm currently on the train heading to Penn Station. It'll be total chaos there too.
Damn, hope the injured/casualties are not that many.
Just seen this and immediately messaged my mates who live in Brooklyn. fecks sake.
Jesus.
Two of my workmates live in Brooklyn and I haven't been able to reach them yet.
Is it a terrorist attack or mass shooting ? I guess it depends on the skin color of the attacker.
They found an explosive device at the 36th st station.
Going there in 2 weeks after a 2 year COVID delay ffs
With the discovery of explosive devices? I don’t exactly give a shit about their skin color.
Feck Sakes, not again in NY
The city was just getting back to some normalcy.
It’s sunset park. It’s mostly elderly Asian and Hispanic neighborhood. Very sad.
You don’t, we don’t, but the press and the politicians do.
White - damaged mental health, needed help
Any other colour - terrorist
Hope that it’s not as bad as feared and that as many as possible survive
The media will though. Lone wolf blah blah blah...
No fatalities reported yet. Hopefully it stays that way and the injured aren't too bad.
Why target them? It's one of my coworkers stop and they missed it by minutes.
Stay safe Scarlett
Jesus.
i sincerely hope it’s not a false flag effort to try and get Biden to go into war

Oh, with the media yeah that is very likely to be seen. My initial thought was the question was about the thread title.
Apologies @The Firestarter
I can't wait to get off this train. I usually take the subway from Penn to midtown but today I'm walking.
Glad they’re okay. Ditto for you.
BBC saying any explosives were undetonated?
Hope there’s no fatalities.
Hope there’s no fatalities.
There has been a spike in anti-asian hate crimes over the last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case.
Hopefully they reply soon. Just spoke with my mates and they’re ok. One said she was on the same train line at the same time but safe now.
They're both okay but one missed it by minutes. It happened at her stop. I'm sure she won't be able to take the subway for a while now or she'll have to change stations.
Damn, terrifying.
Jet fuel don't melt steel beams innit
"The bloody incident broke out around 8:30 a.m. at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, where authorities discovered several undetonated devices, FDNY and police said.
Clair, a straphanger who witnessed the event while riding the Manhattan-bound N train, said that there were so many rounds fired off she “lost count.”
She said she saw the man — who was described as a 5-foot-5 black man, around 170 pounds wearing an orange vest and gas mask — drop “some kind of cylinder that sparked at the top.”
The suspect is believed to be dressed in some sort of construction garb, similar to an MTA worker, sources said."

My friend was on the front carriage of the train involved. He's ok thankfully.
So fecked up. Glad he’s alright.
Stay safe.
Suspect is a short black male on the beefy side.
Hope everyone is ok.
Yeah I know he lives in Brooklyn but he moved this year so not 100% sure where and I sent him out a text just to check he was ok when the news flashed up. He was walking back in the rain but replied when he got in...
"Got to 36th St, a load of people got on, a couple were crying, didn't see or hear anything, train left for 25th, got held here. Announcement to leave the station. All pretty calm. Someone on the next train car down was receiving treatment but I don't know why."
Only a matter of time before it is claimed as such to divert our attention from the inflation numbers that were given out today.
Get home safe and have a drink. Shocking pictures going around
Let's not even go there, there's no way that's what it is.
I'm sure they'd at least blow up a building if they were looking to create a pretext for war.
Chances are it’s not but stranger things have happened
