I think Mr. Parker is likely to get that job…
Via NBC:
The two men who found the backpack full of explosives near a New Jersey Transit station in Elizabeth early Monday recall the terrifying moment they opened the bag and saw metal cylinders with wires sticking out.
Ivan White and his friend Lee Parker were walking to the store Saturday night on South Broad Street when they spotted the backpack on top of a garbage can, they told NBC 4 New York Tuesday. Parker, who is homeless and trying to earn money for an apartment, had a job interview the next day and the backpack was just what he needed.
They knew it felt heavy when they picked it up, but assumed there were textbooks inside — so they carried it a block away before opening it.
