I think I may turn on my Scanner and see what I can hear. Maybe I should've
turned it on earlier but it's probably jumping like crazy. We've never had
anything happen like that near my building. But why would somebody want to do
this to a bunch of blind people? I know probably we weren't targeted but hey it
just doesn't make a whole Lotta sense. Why would somebody do this it's just
crazy. Honestly it really is. I know a few years back there was some people
that lived in a building behind us that were very rich and I started
circulating this petition to have her apartment building moved so they could
have it. They were all angry because we didn't have Christmas lights and all
that stuff like most sighted people. And of course the petition failed. I
wonder if it's one of them but I'm not going to speculate either. But this is
just totally insane. I really can't believe this this is really weird. And now
my landlord is going to have to file an insurance claim to get all that glass
fixed and everything.

Hi, Kathleen,
I'm gonna turn on our local news station now so I can see if there's any new
info about your building. This is absolutely horrible.

No my friend Debbie was inside the building visiting a friend of hers. So
she was inside and she was using another person cell phone I think. But
anyway she is definitely OK. This whole thing is weird. The things that they
call my building they call it a home for the blind they call the
rehabilitation center but it's an apartment building for the blind.
Everybody thinks it's what it's not. I know that sentence didn't make any
sense but I don't know how else to explain it. But maybe I'll have to stay
here Idon't know. I have no idea. But we'll just have to find out how this
is going to play out. I just wish I had better response to your reception
here. Honestly I do. It's hard to even get radio stations to listen to the
news and it's really frustrating. And I'm still

Hi, Vicky,
I'm sure they'll mention it on our news out here too. Kathleen may have to
stay in the building she's in now for her own safety.

Yes, I did watch the news and saw that New York had this explosion. They
said it was near a rehabilitation center for the blind
and I wondered if it wasn’t the building you lived in Kathleen. I had
dinner and then came on here to inquire whether it was the place you
lived. One of the witnesses they interviewed was named Deborah. Wonder
if it’s your friend. She was OK, but now the number is 25 people who have
been hurt, but not seriously. Thank God for that. Glass was broken out
of several buildings around that area at 23rd and 6th avenue. Thanks for
telling us it is your building and thank God you are not anywhere near.
They said on Fox News that people could feel the shaking as far as 29th
and 7th. So, it seems to be a little more than what some authorities are
saying is construction items being thrown into the dumpster. There was
another explosion in a dumpster in New Jersey, Jersey City, I believe was
the exact place at an area where a Marine 5k race was taking place. So,
if there’s another one in Virginia, sounds really suspicious to me.
Wondering where they’ll attack next. Usually groups don’t take
responsibility for these kinds of things until all the damage is done.
Anyway, glad you’re OK. Yeah, you may have to stay there longer until
they can check the building’s stability and all the windows. Take care.

I don't know if any if you were following the news on this list. I hope
that you are. About 830 tonight a bomb went off right outside Seles manner
the building that I live in. 14 people were injured from what I was heard
and the dumpster was used as a weapon. Police and fire and everybody else
is all over the place. Nobody is allowed in and out of the neighborhood.
Why would somebody want to set off a pipe bomb in front of a building for
the blind? This just doesn't make any kind of sense and I was supposed to
move back on the second. I wonder how that's going to change. I guess I'll
find out on Monday. I'll have to go on Facebook and see if anything is on
there. Is this is just really crazy. And then I guess a few hours later
somebody set off the same type a bomb in Virginia. So it wasn't used in
New York. Since I don't have a.m. reception I can't listen to the local
news. So this is really crazy. But I didn't mean to disrupt the happiness
of The list I thought you guys should know.
I'm OK I'm over in Stuyvesant town and I wanted to let you know that. My
friend Debbie is OK and from what I understand my other friends are OK to
even though I haven't heard from them. But I heard that bomb created a
huge mess. Windows that were just put in to newly renovated apartments
from what I understand were blown out. Oh boy what a mess. I have a
feeling I may be spending more time over here than I thought. OMG I knew
something was going to happen
