Small bomb goes off outside Upper East Side Starbucks Read more: "Small bomb goes of

**Jason** · 05-26-2009, 07:45 PM

A homemade bomb exploded outside an upper East Side Starbucks on Monday, shattering the store's windows and raising fears in one of Manhattan's toniest neighborhoods.

The small device ripped a hole in a wooden bench outside the store at Third Ave. and E. 92nd St. about 3:30 a.m.

No one was injured, but the blast terrified sleepy residents on the Memorial Day weekend.

"I heard a giant noise - a big, giant noise, like a crash - and there was a flash," said Jordan Kovnot, 26, a law student who lives above the Starbucks. "It made me jump up."

"It felt like an earthquake," said Adrianna Ebans, 28, who was among more than a dozen residents briefly evacuated from the apartments above the Starbucks. "We were all really scared."

Scores of detectives pored over the blast site, trying to determine the type of the low-grade explosive device, which investigators believe was either placed on, or taped to, the bench.

Hi -

Someone doesn't like Starbucks? Although, in this time of age, or age of time, or whatever; I don't see how anyone can actually afford it

This device was meant to kill innocent people sitting on the bench. Its not joke Windy.

I wasn't laughing at the bomb itself, I was trying to make it funnier to relieve the tension and hopefully convince someone our world isn't falling to crap.

Calm down.

Maybe, but no one was hurt so it's impossible to accurately gauge the person's motives.

Since no one was hurt and nothing bad happened other than some broken windows and some people getting scared, it seems to me jokes would be fine.

Why do you always forget a single word in all your posts, mcninjaguy?

Mcninjaguy · 05-28-2009, 02:52 PM

I don't forget to put words in my posts. What do you mean Undocked?

I think not knowing the intent is far worse and this could lead to something bigger. It was a test, I think for people detecting a bomb and the bomb man passed.

"I don't [think] everything deserves a joke."

"Its not [a] joke Windy."

Grammaticalities aside, it's more by luck than judgement that no-one was injured or killed. I sincerely hope the authorities catch the idiot and teach him/her the error of their ways.

If a person walked in store and and tried to order this;

Yes sir I would like a Grande Frappicino, latte with extra bounce some jimmy and a little bit caramel du milkenstienish.

I'm sure if they sat down on that bench no pone would care expect the other yuppies.
