George Metesky's first bombing in Manhattan
In the midst of New York City's bustling streets, a sinister figure emerged, leaving a trail of fear and destruction in his wake. George Metesky, later dubbed the "Mad Bomber," had a vendetta against the city's utility companies, and on this fateful day, he orchestrated his first attack. A small, unassuming package was left in the lobby of a Manhattan office building used by Consolidated Edison, a major electricity provider. The humble office, nestled in the heart of the city, became the unwitting stage for Metesky's twisted debut. Little did the unsuspecting residents know, this marked the beginning of a 16-year reign of terror that would grip the city, sparking widespread panic and a frantic manhunt.
