The bombing made the front page of the New York Times the next day. In this article, author William K. Stevens gives a general overview of the history of the group as well as an account of the bombing. Steve Harmon, an Osage Avenue resident, said of the incident, "Drop a bomb on a residential area? I never in my life heard of that. It's like Vietnam.'' Other residents used similar militaristic language to describe the event.
