New York City’s commuter rush became a top morning headline when an explosive device went off at 42nd St. and Eighth Ave. No deaths are reported and one man is in custody who allegedly was wearing a home-made suicide vest that went off prematurely.
The explosion happened in an underground passage between two subway lines. Port Authority Bus Terminal was evacuated; the A, C and E line were evacuated as police launched a massive search. Authorities initially reported the 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, N, Q, R, W and 7 trains are bypassing the 42 St. station. The Port Authority Bus Terminal also was evacuated. And 8th Avenue is shut down in the Times Square area.
