>> announcer: this is the "cbs >> welcome to the overnight news. i'm michelle miller. a nationwide manhunt is underway for the person or persons behind a wave of pipe bombs sent to prominent democrats and cnn. explosive devices addressed to hillary clinton and barack obama were intercepted. other suspicious packages were sent to democratic members of congress as well as the city office of new york governor andrew cuomo. none of the bombs went off, but the threat alone has brought tensions to a fever pitch. less than two weeks before the contentious midterm elections. nikki battiste begins our coverage. >> reporter: a little after 10:00 a.m., chaos ripped through

mid town manhattan as news of a suspicious package sent to cnn's mail room spread through the newsroom. >> let's go quickly. >> reporter: n.y.p.d. officers quickly evacuated cnn offices in the time warner center. >> it had projectiles and it had to -- excuse me, that sounds like a fire alarm here. we'll keep you posted on that. >> reporter: moments before, their mail room found this package. inside, a bomb and unidentified white powder. it was addressed to former cia director john brennan. cnn anchors had to move their broadcast to the sidewalk. >> all of our cnn colleagues we know of are outside right now. everyone is safe, as we can see. >> reporter: the device was taken away in this n.y.p.d. containment vehicle designed to absorb the blast of a bomb if it detonates. deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism john miller. >> the bomb squad was able to safely remove a device contained in that package.

it is also some kind of powder. >> reporter: an hour before cnn's bomb scare, news broke of bill and hillary clinton's pipe bomb before it reached their residence. hillary was on the road campaigning, but former president bill clinton was at home at the time. right after 9:00 a.m. this morning when the news broke, this normally quiet neighborhood was inundated with law enforcement officers and media. secret service agents found a similar device addressed to former president barack obama in washington, d.c. in sunrise, florida, bomb squad members had to use a robot to investigate a suspicious package that was sent to the incorrect address of former attorney general eric holder. the package was then rerouted to representative debbie wasserman schultz's office who was listed as the sender of all of today's suspicious devices. officials say a package was also sent to democratic congresswoman maxine waters on capitol hill. >> we have to do everything we

can to bring our country together. >> reporter: the intended recipients of the packages are some of president trump's most high profile verbal targets. the first lady and the president condemned the political violence. >> the full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this investigation and bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice. >> reporter: authorities say all of the devices discovered today were similar to the one which arrived at the home of liberal donor george soros's house on monday. officials say the white powder in the envelope mailed here to cnn's offices is being tested and that all the device s were simply made, but functional. >> multiple law enforcement say one of the bombs convifted of pvc tubing and used a digital clock connected to a small battery as a possible trigger device. pyrotechnic powder was the explosive. and in order to keep it lightweight, glass was used as shrapnel. investigators think whoever put

the device together was trying to keep the weight down so that it could be put in a mailbox without having to appear at a post office for mailing. ron hosko is former assistant director of the fbi. what does it say they didn't explode? >> well, it may say they were intercepted prior to their ability to explode. it may say that they were never capable of exploding even though they may have had black powder in them. >> reporter: the six packages all consisting of a large manila envelope with six american forever flag stamp ofs will now be analyzed at the fbi laboratory in quantico, virginia. investigators will dee construct them, looking to trace the origin of the wiring and the other components to see where and when they may have been purchased and by whom. on the package itself, they'll look for fingerprints and potentially the suspect's dna if the stamps were licked. as they are gathering this information, all these investigators, how does that information filter up to the top? >> what markings are on the outside or the inside of a piece

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> the explosive devices sent around new york city had police emergency units scrambling all over manhattan. none of the bombs went off and no one was hurt, but the n.y.p.d.'s massive response caused gridlock that lasted most of the day. the only way to get around was to take the subway. but the century-old subway system has problems of its own. bill whitaker went underground for "60 minutes." >> reporter: when the trains are moving, there's no better way to get around new york city than on the subway. these 400-ton bohemoths zip

through a web of tunnel deep underground and on elevated tracks high in the air. catch one in the right light, and it can look like a model train running through a city scape. there's more than 600 miles of track. uptown, downtown, out to the boroughs. like the city itself, the subway never sleeps. it runs 24/7. nearly 6 million people ride the trains each day, often accompanied by a sound track for the mad dash to the doors. the cost at the gate? whether you want it or not. other times, a view. theirtate building. there in the distance, the

statue of liberty. and here on the subway, the. ridership is near a 70-year peak, but after years of neglect, deferred maintenance and financial mismanagement, the system can't handle the strain. >> please stand by. >> reporter: last year, passengers got trapped, desperate on a broken down train for almost an hour in sweltering heat. earlier this year, a ceiling collapsed on a platform in brooklyn. one passenger suffered a concussion. in september, torrential rains poured inside a manhattan station. it all adds up to a mosaic of misery, exacerbated by the heat, the rats, and bifo a world s. 's tewside metropolitan transportation authority.

shorthand, the mta, the state > beott they are the trains. of all transit challenges. >> it is. and the way i look at it, someone has to take this on. you know, if every transit professional said, oh, it's too tough, i'm not going to risk my career going there, nothing would happen. i'm prepared to give it a go. >> reporter: he's certainly got the credentials. bi biford grew up a train enthusiast in britain city of plymouth. he worked his way up in the london tube. ran mass transit in sydney and led a turn around in toronto. the mta brought him on board in january to stop the hemorrhaging and resurrect the system. >> i pinch myself sometimes. how did this kid suddenly end up nning new york city t? w thereere a mixeople wou of people saying, congratulations, or are you crazy? if we can turn this around, it would be t pinnacle.

>> reporter: biford seems undaunted. he see. he expects to be held accountable, like everyone else down here, he just wants the trains to run on time. >> i'm the president of transit. >> reporter: with his friendly neighbor approach, he's that rare exec if i have who does his own market research, routinely popping up unannounced to query customers. >> how do you find the service? >> this is what i like to see. >> reporter: motivate workers. >> aim high. >> i will. >> thanks so much for what you do. >> reporter: and take stock of the subway. >> we've got to get better at the basics. >> reporter: and if all that glad handing weren't enough, he also doesn't mind getting those hands dirty. you really do pickup the trash. >> absolutely i've not going to thike -- at. >> reporter: he's if he fastidi

down to the last crum. >> i don't want to see an unclean station. >> reporter: good luck on that one. half eaten bagels are the least of his worries. biford was hired to shake up the tired old system. he crafted a grand modernization plan that calls for hundreds of station renovations, thousands of new subway cars, and more state of the art computer signal controls that can run trains faster and more frequently. sounds like you're going for broke. >> i said in the past that's what we have to do. not to tweak this system, it needs way more than that. it needs to be a comprehensive top to bottom modernization of every aspect of our operations. why shouldn't we be on a par with london, with haong kong, with shanghai, with singapore? this is new york, for goodness sake. >> reporter: but the mta's co wor.izing st one lok aba

biford says with his plan deficiencies, he can upgrade nearly the entire system in that amount of time. and that would be the easy part. the hard part, how to pay for it. he calculates his plan could cost a whopping $40 billion. how are you going to come wake up that kind of money? >> i leave that to, isn't that righter people than me. i leave that to the politicians. >> reporter: but the politicians are squabbling. new york mayor bill de blasio wants to raise money by taxing millionaires. governor andrew cuomo by charging vehicles squeezing into congested mid town manhattan. if money and politics weren't enough, biford said he's going to need a third thing, the patience of new yorkers who will have to put up with subway lines shutting down for repair. any one of those things would be next to impossible to achieve. how are you going to achieve all three? >> by british charm. it will not be quick. it will not be cheap. and it cinly w't be easy.

is there's no gain without a bit of pain. this will be worth it. >> reporter: tell that to the 400,000 people who take the l-train every day, which runs between brooklyn and manhattan. the line is facing an imminent 15-month shutdown for reprayers. riders give biford an earful. >> how would i get twork? >> it's hell right now. >> reporter: the most ambitious element of biford's plan is ripping out and replacing the antiquated signalling system that controls traffic on the tracks. this is what he inherited. equipment that's been operating since the great depression. this machine, more than 100 years old. we saw operator rakia spady move tracks around by pushing and pulling its antique levers. this is 2018, and this thing was built -- >> before we were born.

>> reporter: long before. >> long before. but, i mean, i call it old trusty. it's moving the trains. >> reporter: in this age of gps, this low-tech map marked the approximate location of nearby trains. >> you see how that green dot is up there behind the blue dot? it's still in transilt t so it' moving into the station. >> reporter: but you don't know where on the track that train is. >> no. >> reporter: this is new york. they don't know exactly where the trains are at any given time in the subway system. >> yeah, that's what we need to transform. and it's about accelerating towards a modern signalling system. that would give us precise, absolute identification of where trains are, and it would enable you to move trains up safely closer together or go more trains. >> reporter: the old-fashioned system requires intensive care. when parts break, which at

like doctors, mechanics examine the patients. some sound like they're on their last breath. many of the companies that made these components are long gone. so workers here have to manufacture their own replacement parts. >> i have 50,000 employees working with me as a big team. we've got old processes, old systems that we use, and yet my miracle workers keep that going every day. >> 34th street -- >> reporter: change can't come soon enough for "frontline" employees like train operators and conductors who face an increasingly aggravated public. >> it's a lot that we deal with. >> reporter: we brought together a small group of veteran workers for what turned into a group therapy session. melvin wrighsrd gerati train op pul into a s, yoike reminding we're late. >> that's real-life stuff. >> and you can see the full report on our
