Editing George Metesky (section)

==The Mad Bomber==
On December 16<sup>th</sup>, 1940 Metesky began a campaign of bombings against Consolidated Edison by leaving a bomb on the windowsill of one of their buildings. When the bomb was discovered, it was accompanied by a note reading {{Quote|Con Edison crooks, this is for you}}leading some to believe the bomb was a dud, as the note would have been blown up had the bomb gone off. In September 1941, another dud was discovered near a Con Edison building, this time with no note. When the US entered [[World War II]], Metesky wrote a letter saying that he would not make any bombs during the war. It was signed "F.P.". Metesky later said it stood for "Fair Play".

After the war, Metesky bombed the Grand Central Terminal, and this time the bomb went off. He later targeted three telephone booths, one near to a Consolidated Edison building, Times Square, a train station and many other locations. No one was killed in any of these attacks.
