NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers who have endured the Sept. 11 attacks and the devastating superstorm of 2012 were generally unperturbed by a Saturday night blast in Manhattan that injured 29 people. The blast, apparently in a dumpster, shook the crowded commercial area and sent pedestrians running. Visitors to the city interviewed by Reuters appeared more rattled by the news and said they were surprised at how calmly New Yorkers were taking the blast. But she found the police presence reassuring and was "kind of shocked" at how New Yorkers were taking the explosion in stride. Eleven years after 9/11 came Sandy, a storm that brought severe flooding to the city and killed more than 40 people.
