George Metesky, called the Mad Bomber, in a detention cell on February 19, 1957, at Brooklyn Criminal Court. Metesky terrorized New Yorkers for 16 years in the 1940s and 1950s by planting bombs in theaters, train terminals, libraries, and offices. He was found legally insane and committed to a state mental hospital.

On This Day in New York City History January 21, 1957: After a 16-year bomb planting spree, George Metesky (November 2, 1903 - May 23, 1994) aka The Mad Bomber is arrested at his home in Waterbury, Connecticut. 

Metesky's M.O. was placing pipe bombs in New York City public spaces such as libraries, theaters, phone booths, public restrooms, bus and train terminals. Luckily, while two thirds of his bombs exploded none of the explosions led to casualties. When asked why he was engaging in terrorism for such a long time, he placed blame on his employer Con Edison.

In the letters sent by Metesky to the New York Journal-American newspaper, he claimed that he was leaving bombs because he was never properly compensated for an injury we sustained while working for Con Ed. It would take the work of Con Ed clerk Alice Kelly to discover who the Mad Bomber was.

Kelly was going over worker's compensation files when she discovered a file that had the key words "injustice" and "permanent disability" written on them. Both words had been prominent in the notes that Metesky had sent to the newspaper.

While Metesky was looking for his day in court to show the world how negligent Con Edison was, he would not get his way. Metesky would be found to not be competent enough to stand trial due to reasons of insanity. He was sent to the Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. He would be later transfered to Creedmoor Psychiatric Center where he stayed until being released in 1973.

Mad Bomber

While many “mad bombers” aren’t actually mad, it takes a special kind of crazy to devote one’s life to studying explosives. Most alchemists who specialize in this field are incorrigible pyromaniacs who take great pleasure in burning, blasting, and blowing things up. Mad bombers are always working to improve their bombs’ effectiveness.

BLASTING SPECIALTY Starting when you choose this field of study at 2nd level, your bombs deal double damage to objects and structures.

FORMULA: SHRAPNEL BOMB At 2nd level, you can augment your bomb’s explosive contents with metal bearings, changing it into a shrapnel bomb. A shrapnel bomb deals piercing damage instead of fire damage, its damage dice are d8s, and it explodes in a 10-foot radius.

TIMED DEMOLITION Starting at 6th level, when you prime and throw a bomb, you can set a duration for its detonation, which can be any number of rounds (any increment of 6 seconds) up to 1 minute. The bomb detonates at the end of your turn after this duration. If a creature is in the area of more than one bomb’s blast radius simultaneously, the creature is only affected by one of the bombs of your choice.

BLAST SHIELD Starting at 10th level, you have developed an elemental plating to protect you from hazardous energies. You gain resistance to your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage and can change your selection whenever you finish a long rest.

FORMULA: BLACK POWDER BOMB Beginning at 18th level, you can replace your bomb’s explosive contents with a charge of black powder, changing it into a dreaded black powder bomb. A black powder bomb’s damage dice are d12s.

Muppet Fact #1199

Sandra Bullock, disguised as The Mad Bomber, called in a bomb threat to Clifford at Muppets Tonight saying if the ratings got too low, a bomb was set to explode in the studio.

She was afraid if the show's ratings got too low, she wouldn't be invited back.

Crash Bandicoot: Warped - Mad Bombers:

"Here's another plane level and this time you play as Crash himself. It's pretty much the same as Coco's' level but with an uglier color scheme and harder enemies to deal with."
