“The terrorists want to undermine that,” he added. “They yearn to attack New York City.”
Soon after the explosion was reported, the commutes of New Yorkers miles away from the blast became chaotic. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority reported that 1, 2, 3, A, C, E, N, Q, R, W and 7 trains were skipping 42nd Street.
Commuters underground near 40th Street and 8th Avenue began to flee after the loud, muffled sound was heard in the Port Authority subway station. Police officers, firefighters and Port Authority counterterrorism officials tried to clear people from the bus station and the west side of 8th Avenue as sirens blared.
Andre Rodriguez, 62, a caseworker at one of the city’s shelters, said he heard the explosion around 7:30.
“I was going through the turnstile,” he said. “It sounded like an explosion, and everybody started running.”
Alicja Wlodkowski, 51, said that she had been in a restaurant inside the Port Authority when she suddenly saw a crowd of people running.
“A woman fell, and nobody even stopped to help her because it was so crazy,” she said. “Then it all slowed down. I was standing and watching and scared.”

The mummy is believed to be that of a senior official from the New Kingdom
Archaeologists in Egypt have displayed items, including a mummy, from one of two previously unexplored tombs in the ancient Nile city of Luxor.
The mummy is believed to be that of a senior official from Egypt’s “New Kingdom”, about 3,500 years ago.
Other items included figurines, wooden masks and richly coloured wall paintings.
The tombs lie in the Draa Abul Naga necropolis, an area famed for its temples and burial grounds.
It is close to the Valley of the Kings where many of ancient Egypt’s pharaohs were buried.
Egypt’s antiquities ministry said that the tombs had been discovered by a German archaeologist in the 1990s, but were kept sealed until recently.

Painted wooden masks were found inside the excavated tomb
The identity of the mummified body is not known but the ministry says there are two possibilities.
It could be a person named Djehuty Mes, whose name is engraved on one of the walls, or it could be a scribe called Maati whose name – and the name of his wife, Mehi – are written on funerary cones, officials said.
The other tomb was only recently “uncovered” and has not yet been fully excavated, the ministry said.
In September, archaeologists discovered the tomb of a royal goldsmith near Luxor.
The tomb, which also dated back to the New Kingdom, contained a statue of the goldsmith Amenemhat, sitting beside his wife.
