Bomb scare in Times Square!
 

Propane tanks, black powder and a timing device found inside of an SUV at Times Square NYC. I was just there earlier today. Crazy!

CNN...just gave a statement

"Several blocks around New York's Times Square were closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic Saturday night after a police officer saw smoke emanating from a box inside a parked car, according to authorities.

New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne told CNN that the shutdown began after a foot patrol officer passed by a Nissan Pathfinder with Connecticut plates on 45th Street between and 7th and 8th Avenues. Browne said the officer noticed a box inside the car with smoke coming out.

Browne said officials at the scene were using a robot to search inside the car. The police department's public information office said the box and other items found in the search are not confirmed at this time to be a bomb.

The Marriott Marquee Hotel wasn't allowing anyone to enter or leave the hotel Saturday night, and at least one nearby restaurant, TGI Friday's, had closed to customers and was evacuating staff.


:( Lets hope its a false alarm......other news outlets are as you mentioned talking about propane tanks and stuff.......doesnt look good !

I just saw on the news that the propane and gasoline were attached to wires somehow. At least no one was hurt.

Good thing they found it.

thankfully the would be bomber seemed to not know wtf he was doing

Its obvious that Dick Cheney had operatives within the Tea Party to carry out this attack of domestic terrorism.

fuck I missed the 11:00 news :mad:

oh shit this is a big deal, its on CNN and Fox News now...

federal funding coming to NYC

Hell yeah! Now maybe they'll pick up the garbage more often in my 'hood then.

I went through there in a taxi at around 10 and they were just sectioning off a small section of w.47th St. Then when I got home, switched on the news (NBC) they said they were 'expanding the parameter" (never good). It looked like a crazy scene and I had just been there. Craziness.

Fucking cars back-firing on St. Nicholas Avenue scaring the FUCK outta me doesn't help things. Fix those jalopies Pedro!

thats crazy good thing it didnt go off

They'll find a way to tie it to Iran somehow. ;)

Explosive, timers and all... and I read somewhere that police say it is NOT a terror attack. Well, not an attack, but It was meant to be

indeed:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup

NY police confirm car bomb caused Times Sq. evacuation

someone in CNN article comments said 45 St between 7th and 8th Avenue is where Viacom's building is - anyone know if it's true?
Viacom owns Comedy Central

Wow that is crazy if that is true.. Watching CNN now.. So glad they caught it before it blew up :(

after I heard the news that the car had propane in it.. i remembered that yesterday Myth Busters had a show about propane tanks and they were checking if those things could fly like rockets, they did various tests blowing them up.. if a propane tank cought on fire, built in pressure safety mesures would prevent it from blowing up, just a stream of fire.. if pressure safety thing is disabled (they explained it a bit how to do it) - these convenient propane tanks blow up big time in the fire.

must be an american domestic terrorist if it didn't work. they need to ship themselves over and authentic camel jockey if they want that shit to go as planned... :2 cents:

I guess we need a new law for whatever tomorrow. Did you know you could sponsor "laws" and earn residuals off them for life? hmmm Wheres the motivation? Is everybody scared yet? Those terrorists in the desert wanna get ya.. Oh nevermind it's those neighbors of yours... I think I'm on the wrong business..

You're learning or listening to the talking points.... Which is it?

Appears to be the work of a n00b terrorist.

hahahahahah they must turn people look from their shit

Do you have any idea how much sense that didn't make?

Propane gas tanks were used a few years ago by a couple of terrorists trying to blow up Glasgow airport. This pair of bright sparks drove a Cherokee right into the terminal building and attempted to set the tanks and themselves alight. Considering one was a doctor and the other an engineer, (I think) they didn't have much of a criminal masterplan - and got punched out very rapidly by the locals - Glasgow being being pretty notorious as a tough violent place.

One died of his burns the other is now doing 30 years. They've probably moved the Cherokee by now and maybe even tidied up a bit at the airport, but I'm pretty certain scots civilisation hasn't taken a great hit.

LOL Hank Hill??????

Takes me back to what it was like in the UK in the 70's, 80's and early 90's with the IRA. Hmm, now remind me, who was their biggest supporters?

right on time... good...

Why don't you go fuck yourself?

It's only a matter of time before this becomes common in the US>

Bingo. From Yahoo news this morning:

"In 2007, the U.S. military announced that an al-Qaida front group was using propane to rig car bombs in Iraq. "

I'm kind of surprised that there's not actually been more of this in the US to be honest.

It looks like they were going after the South Park people.

And some thought you could fight terrorism.



"Sadly, the negative impact of U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world is creating Islamist enemies for America at home and abroad far faster than they can be identified, let alone destroyed. Before this day is through, you can bet on two things: (1) the politicians will be on TV telling Americans that if the car bomb is the work of Islamists, it demonstrates they hate our freedoms and liberties; and (2) Washington will receive expressions of sympathy and offers of forensic help from Israel. Both will be aimed at inoculating Americans from anyone who suggests the truth: that the would-be attackers ? if Islamists ? are motivated by the U.S. government?s relentless interventionism in the Muslim world, not by the lifestyle and political philosophy of Americans. In short, the politicians will try to make sure Americans stay ignorant of intervention?s cost, and unaware that intervention is bringing war to their cities and streets. "

QFT :2 cents:

It is scary and I'll be interested to see if it is an American that did it when they find the responsible parties.

Those crazy racist libertarians! :winkwink:

Pretty scary,not only for the new-yorkers...

They also own Nickelodeon. Maybe the would-be bomber is sick and tired of hearing Miranda Cosgrove's "Kissin U" being played every 15 minutes on that channel. We sure are.

One day the world will realize that jews are the masters of false flag terror. I think israeli mossad whenever I see any "terrorist" act and everyone should. Woo

Does anyone remember this? It wasn't a terror attack but proof that propane tanks can cause big shit!

i don't get why that article is stating that the security for NYC failed.. that street vendor saved a lot of lives and in my mind, the security in NYC is in an extremely good position

they have a cheap and easy way for survelliance that isn't invasive of peoples privacy

How much propane went up in that?

They failed because they had no idea of the plot. In fact the bomb was SMOKING which means there was a failure in the detonator. Which means, if the bomb was properly constructed it would have went off. It was a dud, thank god!

so you volunteering for a brave new world?

Security and freedom is a zero-sum game

and yes thank god

Absolutely not, did you read the article? We must stop pull our troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the whole Islamic world.

Sounds more like a local nutcase than Al Quada.

It's hard for them to get past the planning stage without being caught by intelligence. Once they're on their way to plant the bomb, it can only take blind luck for them not to succeed. It's not like there's anyone being searched or checked anywhere in the US, except airports.

Taliban just took credit for it.

This will never ever stop, all what is from the West is a target and sooner or later they will succeed again.

that doesn't mean it was them.

And here we go.. Spin doctors are at work.

Top cop: No evidence of Taliban link to bomb


NEW YORK - There is no evidence to support a claim by the Pakistani Taliban that it was responsible for a failed car bomb attack Saturday night in New York's Times Square, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Sunday afternoon.

Kelly said officers are on their way to a town in Pennsylvania to talk to a man who believes he may have recorded a bombing suspect on his video camera. He said a white man in his 40s was seen taking off his shirt in an alley and putting it in a bag.

Clinton said there will be a McVey incident just a couple of weeks ago.. Any time these people tell you this stuff believe them because they are the ones behind it.. RULES FOR RADICALS.
