    Bomb found in Time Sq SUV

    Been wondering why i've been hearing helocopters and police sirens pretty constant for the last bunch of hours. Then i heard on the radio something about a bomb in time squre. Turned on NY1 - and sure enough.

    Law enforcement officials are examining surveillance video from the Times Square area showing a man changing his shirt around the time of the bomb scare Saturday night, New York's police commissioner said Sunday.


    Lovely...

    watching the coverage on TV - if I didn't know any better, I'd say they were about to blow it off right there on the street.

      From what they're saying on the news here - it was pretty amateurish, but it was a bomb on a timer. I guess they're taking part of it to a police training facility to blow it up.

        Oh - and to make this gun related - the police can't seem to be able to stop somebody from parking an SUV with a bomb in the back in the middle of one of the busiest places on the planet. Yet somehow my 50+ year old Marlin .22 is going to cause mass carnage and chaos.

        God I hate this place sometimes.

          I am sure Bloomberg will tie this into guns somehow. His spin doctors haven't figured out how just yet. It is comforting that he can try to take all the guns off the street but he can't detect a bpmb in one of the busiest areas of the city. From what I heard if the bomb had not started burning instead of exploding they would have never prevented it. Thank God a cop was awake and looking and thought smoke from a burning SUV might be suspecious. And I don't mean to be nasty to the cop. He did the right things but he could have been one of the victims just as easily. What kills more. A gun or a nice large bomb?

            The cops didn't notice it. A street vendor noticed a smoking SUV and alerted a cop who then looked at it. Could have just as easily blown the hell up.

              Or it could be a manufactured staged event like the Underwear Bomber

                  I stand corrected and then the thanks goes to the alert vendor. At least he did not ignore it and that gives me hope in my fellow citizen and the cops who responded.

                    Or it could have been a diversion. It attracts the emergency service. And the crowds show up to gawk. Kaboom!!! secondary bombs go off taking even more than primary would
