Our daughter Liv’s work subway stop is located where the Chelsea bomb went off so you can imagine, we’ve been following closely the unfolding events. The capture was very dramatic; read the full story here in the New York Times.
An ironic aside–Reports state that the five pipe bombs found in a backpack near the Elizabeth train station were discovered, and reported to the police, by several homeless people. And apparently, the second pressure cooker bomb did not go off because two thieves stole the suitcase in which it was housed, unwittingly disrupting the explosive device.

I’m at my beach house in NJ in a town near the Seaside bomb site….fortunately everyone is ok here. We were also at the Pt. Pleasant Seafood Fest that was cancelled when the bomb went off in Seaside. A sad day at the beach and for America…

Oh Beverly, so sorry to hear that you were so close by, but happy to know you are okay. I am so happy that law enforcement found the bomber sooo speedily, and so impressed with everyone in command; a phenomenal job and tremendous to see measures that have been put into place worked so effectively.
