somewhere in the port authority. now, let's remember, the port authority is made up of bus terminals and subways here in new york city and it stretches several avenues. so it's large. precisely where this took place, we're not quite sure. but we do know that the device was on a person, that man, and that man was injured and is now is in police custody. i was told from a source they saw him on a stretcher, he was alive. that is something that they are going to be talking about, talking to right now. as far as other injuries, it's unclear if there were other injuries. i know that there has been reporting that there wasn't anything significant, huge about this. certainly, the scope of this is huge, but as far as injuries and the damage that it caused, it isn't. so that's the good news there. but certainly, this is a major scare for new york city. >> 220,000 passenger traipse day through port authority. tens and tens of thousands of people walk through these tunnels, get off the buses there. >> and this is monday rush ho

this is at the port authority. this is the major bus terminal, as well as subways and a couple of path trains that come in. this is how commuters -- one of the places that commuters come in from the outer states and bur bureaus on a monday morning to work. it couldn't be a busier time on a monday morning at port authority. something that has happened there. there was an explosive device found and we're trying to determine if, in fact, it went off. >> one, maybe more, may have been a human cost. we have dave foot, he's with cnn and was there on foot, witnessed some of the scene. >> can you hear me? >> yes. >> are you good? >> i'm good. was in the port authority, one of the last buses in before they started evacuating. as i was coming down the stairs to the port authority, they started making the announcement. sorry, it's a little loud here. a lot of ambulances. >> what did you see? what did you hear? >> it was mostly a very organized evacuation of the port authority. all the activity seems to be underground. there w

is the port authority closed?r is in the lincoln tunnel right now trying to come to work, and her bus is not moving. so where are people going to be going? >> that's a great question. and, you know, the tunnel, the lincoln tunnel comes right in there too. spits you out at what? 40th street and 9th avenue or something like that. so she's going to be coming into the thick of this as well. i don't know if the port authority is closed. i don't think it is. i think that they're going to try to work around this thing because you've got, you know, hundreds if not thousands of buses and trains and everything comes through. a lot of it comes right into this area here. so this is really how new york operates. ainsley: i'm not sure if they will, rob, let them in. based on what we saw after 9/11, dan bongino is worried about other attacks that might have been planned, i bet that they're not going to let the buses come into authority authority for that very reason. >> what i saw from the nypd is that they were expecting delays

the port authority bus station. so it is one of the key transportation nodes in new york city and that's why so many people have been affected by this. but it does seem like new york has dodged a pretty serious bullet here, stephanie. >> all right, joining me now is a man who knows new york city very well, former new york city police commissioner bill bratton and brett stevens, an msnbc political analyst and op-ed columnist for "the new york times." commissioner, i start with you, what's your take on this? >> the preliminary information coming ought of this event this morning is that this was a sole actor. 27 years old is correct. the early information is a bangladesh native and been in the country for seven years and supposedly committed this act in the name of isis. that's all preliminary law enforcement source information at this time. they will be doing the rollbacks to where he live, trying to determine as much information as they can. was he acting by himself, was he acting with others, that will all be part o

where we should efforts are little things which are not clear as we're hearing reports of the port authority building being cleared by the reputable department. we'll leave it there i mean we have heard the r.t. has contacted the police for comment but they've neither confirmed nor denied that lawson did not admit the anybody was in custody so we are awaiting details on that they also carry find that it was yet unfair whether this incident is being treated as a terror attack or not but we do have reports coming through that the bomb squad has been has been sent to the area we'll have more details on this later and probably hear from caleb again today thank you very much indeed. for me one it's been a very busy day for vladimir putin whose plane has touched down in cairo where the russian president was met by his egyptian counterpart and ever trying to explain the importance of the visit. president c.c. who is welcoming mr putin at the airport and also here at the presidential palace has many issues to sort out with the russian leader including joint nuclear power plant project and reopening

the port authority. remember in the beginning when this happened this morning, there were some reports that this happened at times square and that's because for people who are unfamiliar with new york, the underground transportation hub connects where i'm standing to times square. apparently the suspect was at 42nd and 8th walking to 42nd and 7th which in all likelihood means he was trying to possibly head to the area beneath times square. we'll be getting more information about that. the suspect, 27 years old, he was wearing what they call a low-tech device. it was some sort of pipe bomb attached to him. you heard the investigators say there by velcro and by zip ties. there was several reports early on that the device had gone off unintentionally. investigators were asked about that during the press conference. they are still trying to get more confirmation in terms of that. what was really frightening was to hear from some of the eyewitnesss who experienced this when it happened. one woman she was an m

or earlier i asked a journalist james wrong or what the mood was the new york port authority bus terminal in the aftermath of that failed terror attack. yeah well you know you heard one of the accounts of one of the witnesses and one can only begin to imagine the level of panic and distress that it cooled and alone when funny like a pipe bomb goes off the people describe crowds of people running away and sarah because when one of these take place you don't know if it's an isolated incident and the. he just thought is all that's going to happen whether there is something else and whether it's the law is no more white but i thought which thankfully it was no in this case but in terms of what's happening now at the busiest bus station the well which handles fifty five million people and you are late as you can see right behind me in the three they're all committed moving around and in many ways. that with the early this morning commute is continuing to move in new york continues to grind on you know that new york resilience there in action for the world to see we know this is the second atta

the port authority, a live look right now at the scene.inal in the united states. according to police sources one man set off the explosion. he is now in custody badly injured. another person in the perm nal also injured. the terminal has been closed right now but we want to go to gio benitez who is on the scene. gio? >> reporter: george, i want to you look at this right now. you have all of these officers here. you have all of these ambulances and fire trucks. the bomb squad is here on the scene. no doubt so many people are here. it is truly a miracle only one injured. so many people come in for the buses and the subway system. they were evacuating the major subway lines here in new york city. now the working theory right now, the suspicion is this pipe bomb apparently could have detonated earlier than intended because it was under ground going through this passageway where not too many people were. that's the good news. this could have been worse if it detonated where it was supposed to. that's just a suspicion, just something they're wo

i would not have thought the port authority, in a lower tunnel, in the port authority is the best place to detonate a device. the bomber might have gone there numerous times and thought, this is the best place to detonate a device. you can't get into mind of a bomber. i would have gone to 42nd street. but terrorists take these things into account. there's virtually no way to protect soft targets other than high levels of intense security and driving these terrorists to do acts in places that minimize their nefarious plans. >> nick van sant, malcolm nance, thank you for being here. we'll monitor the new developments in the port authority explosion. after the break, we'll talk politics for a minute. that means we're going down to alabama where it is down to the wire with bapractically everybo saying it is too close to call. the new poll out in the lax six minutes will raise eyebrows. we'll talk about whether it is meaningful coming up next. a tiny sword? bread...breadstick? a matchstick! a lamppost! coin slot! no? uhhh... 10 seconds. a stick! a walking stick! eiffel tower, mount kilimanja

we are right outside of the port authority terminal. going to step out of the ways you can get a sense of where we are here. it is very active area was quickly evacuated in and around the port authority bus terminal this morning. as you mentioned, the suspect has been identified and now we have a picture that we can show you. if you can put that up on the screen. the 27-year-old who was living in brooklyn believed to be from bangladesh in custody and being treated right now. over 230,000 commuters move through the port authority every week day. explosion that you mentioned happened in an underground passageway between those bus terminal and times square. though they wouldn't say what he said to them, he has had some things. he has it been identified as a 27-year-old man who lived in brooklyn. all of this was caught on surveillance tape. it was mentioned in today's press conference with city officials, and they talked about seeing the plume of smoke, the chaos that ensued underground to james o'neill, the police commissioner with nypd de

well we're here on eighth avenue and we're just a block away from the port authority building now from what we understand the incident took place underground on in the subway in the passage from one subway station to the other and at this point what we understand the port authority building that's the bus station in which the buses from new jersey greyhound buses and others are deposited into new york where people get off into manhattan that is fully operational at this point life is coming back to normal now the subways are not at this point back to normal from what we understand of the service people are not getting off at forty second street yet and as you can see around me the streets are a little bare you know the the road is blocked off with there's fire department vehicles there's new york city police department vehicles there's helicopters flying above and the situation is a little bit tense but the roads are not packed and people are kind of reacting to what took place now people in the buildings nearby described how they did hear you know a boom they did hear an explosion of

stations in the new york underground between the times square metro station and the new york port authority station so we did have the new york mayor bill de blasio coming out and point blank saying that let's be clear this was an attempted terrorist attack so let's take a listen to what he had to say this was an attempted terrorist attack. thank god the perpetrator did not. result in a goal. well as you can hear there from bill from bill de blasio effective you saying during the confirmation of what we've been hearing about before that he had been attempted terror attack but to begin with from from the police there was very much they kept quiet about it didn't they that would be seen any details until they were sure so much of the information coming to us from social media was exactly at this point we do have the mayor saying it was an attempted terrorist attack and we have the police commissioner saying that it was a terror related in the dent and the police commissioner did in fact say that the suspect was making some statements he is in custody custody in hospital with minor injuries bu

police and national guard, continue to guard port authority bus terminal, u.s. acting attorney general said that news conference that ullah came to port authority with purpose, his motivation is no mystery. >> ullah admitted he began researching how to build bombs about a year ago. had been planning this particular attack for weeks. reporter: he began making bomb making material about 3 weeks ago, he posted on his facebook, trump, you failed to protect your nation. >> i think any terrorist out there, or think that president trump is tough on immigration, tough on terrorism. he has been saying, this is like an in your face thing to president but to american people as well. reporter: here is a photo of the port authorities who stopped ullah from fully carrying out his plan of attack, the officers are being hailed as heroes, a bomb tec technician expert was informed by commuters. >> it shows what cops do every day, you are trained to do this stuff, you jump into act. not until after you think, i can't believe i did that. reporter: ullah's family reportedly said the

the attack happened just below port authority, the busiest bus station in the country. the fbi is helping with the investigation. nypd is searching areas of brooklyn where the suspect. the terrorist is originally from bangladesh and came from about six and a half years ago just before his 21st birthday. they said they can confirm that the suspect was admitted to the united states after presenting a passport and displaying an f43 family immigrant visa in 2011. >> sir sanders said president trump was briefed on this or earlier. we have not heard record from him. he spoke an event today but to not mention the incident. >> i want to check in with ashley johnson in new york city. it looks like a relatively normal evening commute. >> new york city commute said three people were injured after rookie suicide bomber set off an explosive device underground the port authority bus terminal during rush hour monday morning. the bus terminal was evacuated. buses were turned away and many trying to get to work said the morning commute was a nightmare. >> and our commute turned into a t

we have great port authority cops. sean gallagher, 26, he's also a marine.with bomb technician experience. he was first on the scene. how lucky are we to have them in new york? ainsley: anthony said he saw these panicked passengers and so he runs over there, and he sees the guy who has just detonated the pipe bomb on his chest on his stomach, and he sees him looking for his cell phone, and he goes, oh, my gosh he's going to detonate another bomb because he was training. so all four of those guys prevented him from grabbing that cell phone. they took it away from him. steve: and as soon as there was that explosion, it was a stampede out. so they helped evacuate people, they arrested the guy, and that's some of the video. that's the instance it happened. that is on that walkway between the port authority and time square station, and that is along the wall where apparently that guy, and you can see how badly he was burned, saw those christmas ads for apple and other companies, and he said -- he told police that's what made him push the button to detonate. ainsl
