Plan to attack New York City collapsed after carjacked vehicle ran low on gas, police commissioner says.
The Boston Marathon bombers hatched a last-minute plot to detonate their remaining explosives in New York City's Times Square, but the scheme fell apart when they realized that their carjacked SUV was low on gas, city officials said Thursday. Although surviving terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, first told authorities that he and his brother, Tamerlan, planned to "party" in New York City after the Marathon bombings, more questioning revealed that the pair wanted to attack Manhattan last Thursday night, according to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. “We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists, had they arrived here from Boston, we’re just thankful we didn’t have to find out that answer," New York City Mayor Michael R. …

Montclair commuters spend an average of 26.3 minutes traveling to work everyday, according to WNYC. Does that seem correct?
Montclair is a commuter town, and many former New Yorkers find themselves drawn to greener pastures west of the Hudson River. But after making a move to a larger home in the suburbs, many end up commuting Monday through Friday into New York City.

New Jersey only trails New York in mega commuters, which as 16.2 percent, and is well above the national average of 8.1. percent. According the WNYC Commuter Map above, Montclair …
