Car bomb in Time Square

[Peter Lemkin]

Also Sunday, Kelly said an NYPD bomb squad blew open a large gun locker found in the Pathfinder, revealing eight bags of an "unknown substance" and a pressure-cooker-type metal pot containing a "bird's nest of wires and M-88 firecrackers."
Preliminary tests later determined the substance to be "non-explosive grade fertilizer incapable of blowing up," according to Browne.
The gun locker was one of many items found in the rear of the Pathfinder after a T-shirt vendor alerted a nearby police officer to smoke coming out of the vehicle.
Officials removed from the SUV three propane tanks weighing between 15 and 17 pounds, Kelly said, comparing them to the kind typically used on backyard barbecues. One of the tanks had more M-88 firecrackers attached to the side, Kelly said, some of which detonated inside the vehicle.
Also found in the vehicle's back seat were two full five-gallon gasoline containers, Kelly said. And between those gasoline containers was a "16-ounce can filled with between 20 and 30 M-88 devices," he said, adding that two clocks on the floor of the vehicle's back seat were connected by wires to the can containing the firecrackers, and possibly to the gun locker as well.

Another sophisticated BUBBA BOMB.What a friggin' joke.....:heeeelllllooooo:

The part I like best was the car had its emergency flasher lights on and smoke coming out of it.....a real slick 'bomber/terrorist built this one!.....:alberteinstein: A Rube Goldberg bomb, for sure.....only question left is if the 'powers that be' or some crank wanted to raise the fear level a bit....
