All New York blast victims released from hospital * <br /><br /> Reports of arrests denied by FBI *<br /><br /> As the investigation and media attention goes on around them, New Yorkers who have endured the Sept. 11 attacks and the devastating super-storm of 2012, appeared to be generally unperturbed by the blast in Manhattan. Twenty-nine people were injured in the blast on Saturday night but all victims have now been released from hospital.<br /><br /> “Well we’ve been living in the same area since 9/11 and I think we’ve all been through 9/11. That was you know weeks and weeks and weeks of clean up messes and odors and disruptions. And I think people are relieved that this is nowhere close to that at all,” said New York resident Arthur Ashenorff.<br /><br /> Asa Martensson expressed confidence that all security measures were being taken.<br /><br /> “We cannot let this scare us even though it is terrifying per se but I’m moving around in my city because I love the city and it’s the best place to be when something like this happens. So I feel like they’re in control of you know how to handle situations. So I still feel safe out here today.”<br /><br /> While many New Yorkers are taking a stoical approach, there is evidence of unease with reports and rumours circulating over those responsible and their motives.<br /><br /> Responding to one report the FBI denied arrests had been made in connection with the explosion, stressing that after a vehicle search on a bridge no one had been detained or charged with a crime.<br />
