Crate Club: A lesson to all about staring at your cell phone

Crate Club: A lesson to all about staring at your cell phone

On October 31, 2017, an Islamist terrorist drove a rented pickup truck into cyclists and runners for about one mile of the Hudson River Park’s bike path in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The vehicle ramming attack killed eight people and injured eleven others. After crashing the truck into a school bus, the driver exited, apparently wielding two guns (later found to be a paintball gun and a pellet gun). He was shot in the abdomen by a policeman and arrested.

How often have you been walking in a city street looking into your phone or distracted? How prepared do you feel for unforeseen events or even a terrorist attack like this one in NYC?

We take our gear seriously at the Crate Club, and if you’d like to learn more about products like this you can sign up to get tactical and survival gear that’s hand-picked by Special Ops veterans and industry experts, delivered to your door monthly.
