A ‘major’ explosion in the Chelsea district of New York City Saturday night wounded at least two dozen people. A photograph purports to show the explosive was in a dumpster.
NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill says there's been 29 injuries as a result of explosion. FDNY Commissioner Nitro says none life-threatening.
