MTR Admiralty Posted December 27, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2008 I have read on NYCSubway that there was a bomb incident affecting both the IRT 28th Street Station on the Lexington Avenue Line and the BMT 28th Street Station on the Broadway Line. A number of people were injured. Now, does anyone recall this incident or have access to a historical article for more information? "Two bombs explode, one in the 28th St IRT (Lex Line) station and the 28th St (B'way) BMT station. "[The bombs] injured many persons, one of them it was believed, fatally." (NYT 8/6/1927)." This occurred on 6 August 1927. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
