Following up on yesterday's explosive discover at The New York City Marble Cemetery...From the Times:
Now the quaint old cemetery in the East Village is the site of another mystery, this one still unfolding, after a volunteer on Sunday discovered a decaying garbage bag filled with 10 pounds of military-grade C-4 explosives, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said Monday.
Mr. Kelly said he did not believe the aging explosives were linked to a terrorism plot. No ignition devices or primers needed to detonate the C-4 were found. But how the explosives ended up interred near a 19th-century vault is still anybody’s guess.
Right! So! What is YOUR guess?

I wouldn't be shocked if they traced it back to the Hell's Angels.
My first thought was some building maintenance guy found it and had no idea what to do with it... and dumped it in the cemetery ... less likely of it causing damage there... as opposed to dumping it in the trash on the corner...
Sounds like someone found a KGB explosives stash leftover from the Cold War - just as the US stashed military equipment in Eastern Europe (Operation Gladio) the KGB stashed gear here.
Insurgent (by which I mean B&T) dead drop from one of those pesky helicopters that were around all summer.
Hipsters. They were half way through building their bombs and suddenly lost interest. They were all like, whatevs, shrugged their shoulders, and walked away.
Zombies!
Hipster zombies!
i thnk it was those crazy teabaggers.
I think Angelina Joli stashed them after filming Salt!
Demolition Smurf.
Leftover from when cheap shots made truck bombs.
I think it was EV Lambo. Dumped the junk from her trunk and vroom, off she sailed. Notice how she's been keeping a low profile lately?
benign nothingness madeover into newzzzzzz
I read an article in the NY Times this past August about veterans who take home "souvenirs" from the warzone, including explosives. Many family members find them in attics/basements of deceased relatives without ever knowing they were there. I highly suspect this case is similar. After all, it was originally buried next to a cemetery plot and that seems very sentimental.
Sarah Connor left it there in hopes that her son, John, could use it to fight the machines in the future.
