Not to sound unsympathetic, but strange things like this happen all the time in large cities. It was probably some kid with a cherry bomb.

Typical Newstore answer- Kids with to much time on their hands in NYC, school out for the summer and found a stick o dynamite....

The schizo/conspiracy nut answer- Another dry run, in a subway, how much time till someone notices it? Someone noticed it, and was it remotely detonated? Was it set for timer. Strange that someone saw,walked towards it and then it went off. Loud enough to shake buildings? this is no cherry bomb....

ANyone on here live in the area in NY, all my relatives live on the Island....
