So This Happened

This evening I had the odd experience of requiring a police escort to walk to the entrance of my apartment. Because I live on a block that the NYPD currently defines as a crime scene. I confess I don’t have a lot of experience with how quickly police and bomb squad investigators retrieve objects in a situation like this. You’ve probably seen the carcass of the dumpster that withstood the primary impact of the Chelsea explosion. I was surprised to see that it’s still resting right where it fell, across the street from the site of the blast.
