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.

That makes sense .. they had threatened to kill them
Well, it is Times Square on a Saturday evening. With the mass of people normally in the area, there would have been significant carnage.

So glad this was not a national disaster then since the BO (who MUST have his blackberry) isn’t available. Even with a blackberry. Interesting.
When is/was the presser by the NYC officials?
I never thought of that, but that could be.
...answer: In less than a hour, per FNC.
...may mean Bloomberg is in the area
PS - be safe with the weather up your way.
Thanks, we’re under a Tornado Watch right now. It’s going to be a long night with all these storms moving in now.
“Homeland Security has no comment at this time, terrorism not confirmed.”
Um, she will probably say somethng stupid...like the system worked.
Thanks!
Expect Napolitano to say that this was not terrorism, just someone who went to Home Depot and forget the stuff he bought in his car..the reason why the Muslim guy ran off, well, he was scared of course..afraid of being racially profiled. I can read Napolitano like a book, expect to hear that kind of crap from her
Prime directive aquaduct station - what’s that mean? We need someone who knows what all this police talk means monitoring the radio for NYPD spec ops.
