2021 Livetopia Metro Bombing

The Livetopia bombing attack was an act of terrorism perpetrated by members of the Topia Killas group on July 20, 2021. As a result, 6 people were

killed and 2 seriously injured. The attack targeted a train at Park Station, which had just arrived from Downtown Crossing. The group, led by Trent Orlins, had already carried out several assassinations and terrorist bomb attacks, including the so-called Ferris Wheel incident 3 years earlier, which killed 3 people. In the raid after the attack, the police arrested many members of the group. Police activity continued throughout the month, and more than 50 members were arrested, including the leader.

Attack

On July 20, 2020, a member of the Topia Killas group named Drake Brawstron launched a bomb attack on the Livetopia subway. The explosive used was a homemade time bomb that was hidden in a backpack and rolled up in a white bag.

With his backpack, the perpetrator boarded the train at the Downtown Crossing station. As the train moved toward Park Station, the perpetrator discreetly opened the backpack and manually activated the bomb. The author then got off the train and left the station to meet his accomplice who had a car. When leaving the backpack with the activated bomb on the ground, the passengers heard a beeping sound, bothering and worrying them. 3 minutes later the guards and authorities were alerted by a suspicious backpack.

The guards searched the backpack and found the bomb wrapped in a bag, guard Jim Boorks dropped the bomb in shock and alerted the passengers to evacuate.

The surrounding people ran out of the train and caused a huge stampede which resulted in 2 injuries. After the station and train were abandoned at Park Station, the bomb squad arrived on the scene and proceeded to defuse the bomb. After tense moments, the decisive cable was cut, but it was the wrong one, the bomb exploded and the squad was pushed off the train. The debris turned into metal projectiles, which ricocheted across the station and out of the station.

Vehicles that were on the street were hit by the projectiles, causing 2 accidents and 5 injuries.

Aftermath

Ultimately it resulted in 9 injuries and 6 deaths (all of these Bomb Squad elements). A massive capture operation was organized in the months of July and August, capturing more than 50 members (including the perpetrator) and the leader.
