We have our coverage across the country. Lets begin with richard engel. He was in chelsea. Reporter i spoke to a witness even closer to the scene than i was. He said he heard a very loud explosion, immediately thought it was a bomb. His ears were ringing. He was inside his apartment. The window didnt break, but the mirrors fell to the ground. He went outside and saw broken glass everywhere, on both sides of this very busy intersection. He said that some of the broken windows were as high as on the fourth floor of nearby buildings. Whats unclear, however, is who did this or why. Just after 8 30 last night, an explosion rocked new york city as chelsea neighborhood, sending people running in panic. Lets go get off the streets it sounded like thunder, to be honest. You felt it in your heart. I heard a massive explosion then fire trucks and police cars. A massive response. Very unnerving. Reporter social media lit up and crowds grew as First Responders raced to the scene. A mangled dumpster was one of the first imaging to emerge, leading many to wonder, what caused the explosion . Theres no evidence at this point of a terror connection, but we want to be very clear, the initial, the early indication is this was an intentional act. Reporter according to Law Enforcement sources, police have video of showing a man placing some sort of object into the dumpster. Multiple people were injured by the explosion and treated at local hospitals. Thankfully none of these are lifethreatening injuries. Reporter as polices work to clear the area, another device, a Pressure Cooker, was found a few blocks away. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate. Willie, this is a very popular area, with people going out at night, a lot of bars, a lot of restaurants. Where this explosion took place specifically, according to witnesses, was near a church which wouldnt have been very crowded at 8 30 at night. Also a school and Rehabilitation Center for the blind, but a couple apartment buildings, but a very crowded area with people going out and walking in the streets. And pretty remarkable that none of those injuries were lifethreatening. As i mentioned at the top, you live in the area. You heard it, you felt it. Reporter i live overseas, but i keep an apartment very close to here, just down the block. I wasnt sure if it was an explosion. I heard a loud rumbling, but then just moments later, there was a very quick response, helicopters in the air, fire trucks, Police Moving to the area. This whole neighborhood last night was just a sea of flashing lights. Very impressive, very overwhelming response that seemed to start just machining after i heard that blast. Your was some of the first reporting from the scene. Thanks, richard. Richard engel in new york city. Another explosion it before at the jersey shore. Morgan, what can you tell us about this . Willie, good morning. Were standing where the pipe bomb exploded inside a trash can here in ceaseside heights, new jersey. Can you still see the rim of the trash can behind me. This happened 30 minutes into a race designed to support military veterans, but thankfully that race was already delayed, which means no one was here yet and no one was hurt, but the question was what was designed to have happened . That device was attached to other devices set to go off, but didnt. The race was immediately canceled. People were evacuated and they werent allowed to return to their homes until 6 00 p. M. In the evening. This is being if investigated as an active terrorist, harkening back to the boston mar athan where three people were killed and up to 260 people were injured. The fbi is on the ground investigating. They still do not have a motive, do not have a suspect. People here in ceaseside heights are wondering who did this and why. Willie . Again incredibly fortunate there were no injuries. Morgan, thank you. A man with a knife attacked at least eight people with a mall in minnesota last night. Witnesses say he made references to allah. Good morning, gadi. Reporter this entire mall is a massive crime scene. We understand that seven of the eight victims have been released from the hospital, all of the victims here are expected to make a full recovery. Were also hearing a bit more about the knifewielding suspect. We are told he came to this mall wearing what was possibly a private security shirt, and may have asked people if they wemus before attacking strangers at random. He was eventually confronted by an offduty police officers, he was shot. He was killed. The police chief responding to specific request questions about whether this was terrorism. The police chief saying theyre trying to do their due diligence. They have requested the help of the fbi, but they are still interviewing witnesses, victims, and that could take some time, because that was a saturday night at the mall. A lot of people were here shopping. That offduty officer acting very quickly, perhaps saving some live. Gadi shall wards in minnesota, thank you. Peter, what are investigators telling you about the scene in new york city last night . On the explosions there is some amount of luck, first the timing of the bomb in new jersey. The second the fact theres quite a bit of physical evidence, because one of the devices in new york didnt go off. The second improvised bomb in new york was intact when the investigators got to it. So analysts are looking for common features all the way down to how the wires were joined together. There are broadly speaking some features in common with what was planted in new jersey. Both the devices were set to go off with electronic timers. When the one in new jersey exploded, nobody was around because of the a delay in starting the race. So that further suggests that bomb was not set to go off by somebody who was watching with a remote control. Officials say the new jersey device was composed the three bombs made from value gannized steel pipe like this bundled together. It did not explode complete lid. Only one of the pipe bombs went off and it may not have exploded entirely itself. Because of theres so much of that device left behind, investigators have a good idea how it was made even though it was damaged and appeared to have been assembled using instructions widely available on the internet. A similar guide was nope published by a al qaedainspired publication inspire. This morning federal Officials Say they have not concluded, willie, whether its all the work of the same person or the same group. Or if there is a link yesterday to terrorism, as mayor de blasio said. Lets turn to shawn henry, a former top fbi official, now the president of crowd strike services. Shawn, good morning. We have a dedicated device in the chelsea neighborhood, an undetonated Pressure Cooker in that same neighborhood, a separate device from earlier in the day from Seaside Heights he new jersey. What are they looking at . You have multiwall incidents, lots of physical evidence. Pete williams just described unexploded devices, as well as shrapnel and other forensic evidence that well see at the scene, where these two explosions occurred both in seaside and in chelsea. The investigators will be looking at these two things in new jersey and new york, separate types of investigations, but absolutely there will be coordination very close. While theres no direct evidence linking you this to terrorism, the joint Terrorism Task force working with state and local police officers, are going to be defaulting to that. When i say that, youve got to look at what happened and how it happened. Weve seen these types of devices used oftentimes in terrorist incidents. Theyll default to that, because they have a very strong mechanism, a vehicle in terms of the jttf, a lot of expertise in going through physical evidence, evaluating it, and theyve got access to an awful lot of intelligence. Initial to the physical evidence, theyll be out talking to lots of witnesses. Somebody knows what happens, either coconspirators, neighbors, family member, coworkers who may have seen something. There will be a lot of investigation. Were only 12 hours into this, willie, so well expect lots of information to come out and the investigation will change as this in information is developed. Shawn, mayor de blasio made on point of saying theres no link to terrorism. Thats a murky word. You can be directed from overseas or say you were inspired by a group overseas. At what point does Law Enforcement make that connection. It always comes down to who did it and why . The motivation. For some its ideological purposes, social or political means, somebody looking to influence or create chaos for their for that type of an agenda. Theyll look at that and too i it to terrorism. When you think about those who may have been inspired rather than directed, still certainly the jttf looks at this as a terrorist event if thats in fact the case. Thats a major concern where youve got individuals here who might not be operating at the direction of an organized group, but picking up information through social media. Theyre learning about how to create improvised explosive devices, still causing and creating the type of chaos that supports that jihadi cause. At this point theres not that indication, but Law Enforcement is absolutely looking at that as one of the possible motivation, willie. Shawn henry, always appreciate your point of view and perspective on morning likes this. Meanwhile, president ial nominees Hillary Clinton and donald trump weigh weighing in Hallie Jackson is in miami. Good morning. Hi there, willie. Good morning. Both candidates responding in different ways. Donald trump at his latenight rally in colorado bringing it up just minutes after reports began surfacing. Hillary clinton talked about it later on that night on her press plane with reporters. I must tell you that just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york, and nobody knows exactly whats going on, but boy, we are living in a time always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions. Reporter an aide tells nbc news clinton was informed of the explosion in chelsea just after her remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner in washington, d. C. Thats where she delivered a blistering critique of trump without mentioning the name, and she went after his birther comments as well as president obama after trump on friday acknowledged the president was in fact born in the u. S. , obama saying last night, in other breaking news, the world is round, not flat. As always, politics swirling around the news. Hallie jackson, thanks so much. Lets get a check of the weather from dylan dreyer. Good morning, willie. We have some rain especially back towards oklahoma, where we have some heavy this morning moving through eastern oklahoma, but also attached to this cold front in the northeast. We need rain in the northeast, but i dont think today is the day well get a lot of it. Scattered showers and isolated storms will move through, so a very unsettled day as it moves eastward. As it moves into tomorrow morning thats where well see the best chance of heavy rain stretching down into the midatlantic, and then by the time in the afternoon well see the heaviest of the rain moves out. Elsewhere across the country, things are looking good through the midwest, temperatures in the good morning, im first alert meteorologist krystal klei. Looking in your neighborhoods today we are looking at a high of 85 in center city. But also, look at cloud cover moving through out today across the region.

The first high to a School Bus Driver who took care of a group of kids like they were her own when her bus burst into flames. It was in college park, maryland when she saw flames around the bus. She sprung into action. As the fire spread, she went through the bus, ushering every student to safely. She then went back on the bus to make sure no child was left behind. She said she knew her only choice was to get the kids out. Once i seen the fire, i opened the door, took off my seat belt and i got my babies off that bus. I love that. As she added as long as the kids are on the bus, im their mom. Thats who you hope is driving your kids to school. Give her a race, whatever she wants. Running, lifting, spinning, jane fonda workouts.

In its own way its a Pretty Healthy act. I really enjoy doing it. A lot of time these rooms are hot, like saunas. I guess thats a many of exercise. Gesturing may not be exercise in the classic get your heart rate up, but some experts did point out that trump is on to something, one say small movements lice fidgeting and moving your arms up and down can result in largicalliry deficits. Im very handsy when i talk. You are. I dont know who knew i was burning calories this whole time. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton are working 23 hours a day. They had dont have time to get to the gym, leave them alone. Cant really blame them. Our next high to a kid who may be i would love for my giants to draft him. My man is 9yearold, Australian Youth rugby game. You are watching mayalupa teo, theyre getting stiffarmed, littered all over the field like laundry. The comparison is to beast mode. By the way, thats beast mode, but the breakaway speed, too, he can get away from everybody. Thats the secret. You need to run over people and have the speed. He ace kind of both. Not eligible for the draft for another 11 more year. Next to the giant orb rolling through a chinese cities. This is the site of one of the countrys mid auld many festival celebrations. One of the model moons broke from its base and began terrorizing citizens. It rolled over pedestrians, deflating as it went. Somehow nobody was injured, the first image that popped into our heads was Harrison Ford racing the boulder in raiders of the lost arc. Or the blob. Its amazing that nobody got rolled over. One of the greatest moments. Kevin harlan had the radio call. A fan ran onto the field. While tv cameras rolled, harlan provided the gripping play by play for the Radio Audience all way to the moment when the dope was tackled. Hey, somebody has run out on the field. Some goofball in a hat and redshirt. Now he takes off the shirt. Hes running down the middle by the 50, hes at the 30, barechested banging his chest, now runs the opposite wait. He runs to the 50, to the 40. The guy is drunk, but there he goes. The 20, theyre chasing him. Theyre not going to get him. Raising his arms. Smp stop that man here comes the blue coats, man. Oh, and they tackle him at the 40 yard line. Kevin harlan was already the best, now hes really the best. He just paints a perfect picture. I hope he didnt inspire more people to get their own call. Thats the problem. The final logo to the level of art at goulden haim museum, the worldrenown collection inclusion picasso, manet and now this, an 18 karat gold toilet on the fourthfloor bathroom.

Based on the weight of the exhibit, its estimated the toilet is worth more than 1 million. So many puns. Were flushing money down the toilet. I like a guy with white gloves and precious metal cleaners. Thats what they have here. Yeah. Well see you in a minute.
