1. TIMES SQUARE BOMBING In 2017, suspect Akayed Ullah allegedly detonated a pipe bomb strapped to his body in the passageway connecting the Times Square and Port Authority subway stations. The homemade weapon did not fully detonate, and the attacker was the only one seriously injured in the blast.

2. UNDERWEAR BOMBER Suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called Underwear Bomber, smuggled a bomb in his underwear aboard a commercial airliner on Christmas Day in 2009. The suspect attempted to detonate an explosive device on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. As the plane descended toward Detroit, passengers heard a loud noise that sounded like a firecracker. The device failed, but a fireball spread up the wall and carpeting of the plane. Four other passengers restrained the suspect. The flight was carrying 289 people.
