Boring act of terrorism in New York City

Overheard on the street near the scene of the explosions in front of the British Consulate here in New York City: "What a boring act of terrorism."  A lot of traffic mishaps have caused more damage.

 

The consulate is a block and a half from my stock broker, a block from a place I was working last Summer, and less than a block from the nearest police and fire stations, but most importantly, a half-block from Essa Bagel where I usually go to pick up lunch.  For a while I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get my bagel sandwich, but they quickly opened half the street for traffic.
