PhotoA blast on a warm Saturday night in Manhattan sent people running through the streets. New York City, accustomed to living with the echo and shadow of terrorism, handled the shock with composure. New York City, like the world, can be a dangerous place. Whoever placed an explosive device in Central Park in July that severely injured a tourist is still at large. Whether the Chelsea blast and pressure-cooker device are connected to a pipe-bomb explosion in a garbage can in a New Jersey town on Saturday morning is still unknown.
