No it’s not too much. The old steam pipes used to explode all the time in NYC, but I dunno if that’s still a problem. Looks like “the authorities” are talking to the press, but not much is known. More importantly, When people are polled about handling terrorism, Clinton beats hell out of Trump. Pretty sure generic Democrats are beating Republicans too.
EDIT: The World Trade Center I can see. But who the hell would bomb Chelsea? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s personal.
