View Full Version : IED Found Near Chester Train Tracks
CHESTER, Pa. (CBS) – Chester police are urging vigilance after they found an improvised explosive device, this afternoon, near Amtrak and Septa railroad tracks and the Commodore Barry Bridge.
Police say the device consisted of two bottles with a yellow liquid inside. They say one had a timer and wires attached by duct tape.
Police were not sure if the device was really explosive but evacuated the area as a precaution. The Delaware County bomb squad determined that it was and disarmed it.
The device was found about 2 p.m., near third and Reaney Streets. That’s underneath the bridge and not far from the tracks Septa’s Wilmington-Newark line uses.
An investigation is underway.

Chester police Chief Darren Alston says a passer-by found the device on Friday. He described it as a gallon-size sports drink container filled with gasoline. A timer was taped to the device, but it was not set.

That makes it no less dangerous. Copycat, hoax, whatever. If it goes off, damage will occur.

If a hoax device "goes off", it isn't a hoax, is it?
Every idiot who wants to see lights and fire engines now knows how to get it.

Not and IED but an IID - and a piss poor one at that (pun intended). The term "near" to those wanting to ramp things up is a relative term.
I keep reading and being alerted to the fact that terrorist are threatening rail lines. What the hell is new about that?? Do they think people had not noticed the plethora of attempted/successful rail attacks in London, Atocha, India, Russia, Germany, Dagestan, etc. just within the past few years ?
I keep awaiting the DHS's timely notice that the Beatles have broken up...
