And the concept of attacks on subway trains isn't new to begin with. USA Today has a piece from April listing terrorist attacks going back to the 90s. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/04/03/other-incidents-subway-rails/99978346/

Really, what's your point in posting this? Why not wait to get an unsensationalized take on the story? If it's even a story at all. Maybe Raw Story is little more than a news aggregator, but Josh Marshall site is more than that. It provides analysis & context.
