"It is obvious that if the device had detonated, there could have been significant injury or loss of life," Clarke said, adding that the number of dead and injured "certainly could have been into the hundreds."

I just heard about this story earlier. It's scary how close something like this can come to happening, and worse when it does...

Indeed. Makes one very humble very quickly.

Yeah, I saw that on the news and wondered if you two were freaking out...yipes!

[picture_kept]

He's the one that first showed me an article, and it was rather stunning news for both of us. I'm not sure we're exactly freaking out, a la screaming and kicking, but I know I definitely felt that low vibration of 'oh shit' when we realized everything.

[madge_pastiche]

Yeah, freaking out was the wrong phrase, but I was sleepy when I responded to your post...the news story just gave me the heebie jeebies.

[picture_kept]

Yeah, me too. :(

Dang. That ambulance driver is a freaking hero.

Life is odd with its close calls.

[picture_kept]

No kidding, he's a hero. I'm boggling at how differently the bombs could have been discovered.
