Times Square Block Shut Down
By SEAN GARDINER and R.M. SCHNEIDERMAN
NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police shut down a block in the heart of Times Square Saturday night after receiving a call about a suspicious car fire, delaying some Broadway shows by more than an hour.
The call came in just after 6:30 and as of 9 p.m., 45th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues had not been opened. When police initially responded, they saw smoke coming out of the car but no fire.
Dustin Drankoski for the Wall Street Journal NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police said a bomb squad investigation was on the scene and that the car on fire was a sport utility vehicle had license plates that didn't match the make of the car, raising suspicions.
On one of the theater district's busiest nights, some shows, including "The Lion King," were delayed by an hour or more, according to the Broadway World website.
Oprah Winfrey was in attendance of the new hit "Fela," being shown at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on West 49th Street, and the production began on time and wasn't interrupted.

...since Jan 22nd 2009....yeppers
It’s EITHER islamic terrorism - or so called “domestic” terrorism... (IMO the first)
FGS - doesn’t appear to be terrorism?
CNNi: Google Earth has blurred Times Square area for security reasons.
No!
That’s what they stated to media!
We are truly f’d if this is the mentality of our federal government..that someone can plant a car full of propane tanks, black powder, and a detonator and its not terrorism..well then what the hell is it then..see, this is why terrorist countries wanted Obama to win so badly..they can do whatever they damn well please and his Administration will always make excuses. The second they heard that a muslim was seen fleeing they decided to go with “Its not terrorism” angle. I guarantee you that if it had been some white guy running they would have called it terrorism.
Is everyone in the tank?
That's it!!! It's all part of the "save GM" plot.
Wires led from the device to the ground outside the car, and may have been connected somehow to the Marriott Marquis, a high-ranking police source said. The huge hotel was evacuated during the melee along with most Broadway shows.
I think you’re right.
@USABreakingNews: WNBC/MSNBC: Person who first witnessed smoke coming from the vehicle was a t-shirt vendor in Times Square.
5/1/2010, almost joined a list of days of infamy.
And .. your point is ..??
Thanks. This is completely serious and yet the government is saying it’s not terrorism!!!!
But for the Grace of God! Thank God it didn’t go off.
One of the Times square webcams was shut down too. The Brits have this stuff all worked out. BBC has a huge number of traffic cameras, in the last event the internet feed was shut off within minutes.
Were sitting ducks buddy..Obama and his looney Administration won’t be satisfied til we are all dead..as long as he and his muslim brotherhood can still be fist bump buddies he will remain happy

The safest place in NYC? The “Rack and Soul” BBQ Pork Joint. Terrorists won’t go within a mile of the place.
