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.

I agree, but please have confidence in the NYPD and the FDNY. If there's evidence in that car they'll find it and anti terror and major case detectives WILL track it down.
@USABreakingNews: WNYW: Propane tanks and black power found in the vehicle in Times Square.

“I agree, but please have confidence in the NYPD and the FDNY. If there’s evidence in that car they’ll find it and anti terror and major case detectives WILL track it down.”
You are so right, I used to work with a lot of those guys and they are the best!
Suspicious muslim parked the car and ran away.

“Suspicious” Muslim? LOL.

But I’m sure it’s all a coincidence.
Is this the truth .. or are you just speculating about the Muslim ..??
And .. an hour has passed since this was posted .. is there anything new .. the media is asleep in SD.
Hasan was unavailable.
So was Hussein.
Latest media spin:
CNNValencia Many of the items found in this car in Times Sqaure are carried by everyday vendors in NY. LOTS of rumors out there.
“But *who* was at Broadway tonight that needed killin?”
Supposedly Oprah was at a Broadway show.
Heard nearby: “Achmed, Oprah is in town, we are going to need a bigger bomb!”
Well, thank goodness Oprah was OK. (sarcasm very heavy)
Propane tanks, gasoline tanks, gunpowder, detonator, stolen license plates?
All of this nonsense is what happens when Presidents (leaders) turn yellow.
The children of the last 20 years have been born into a “yellow bellied” America. Boyish girls and girlish boys of generation “Y” simply do not know what a real president is nor do they know what security feels like.
What ever happened to, (and I never thought I would quote Franklin “Red Diaper” Roosevelt) “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”? How about a president who had the guts to drop the A-bomb? If nothing else where is the bully pulpit daring our enemies not to take another step? Where is the leader of the free world reassuring his own nation that evil committed against our country will not stand?
I moved to NYC in 1985. At that time the streets belonged to, for lack of a better word, thugs. The thugs new all the other thugs and new every move that happened in their territories. The same hoods would have known exactly where this “suspicious package came from”. In truth, some of the police were hoods as well. My point is that between the street mobs and the cops they instilled fear into would be evil doers. (Except for a few of Obama’s associates who succeeded in bombing a Police Station and an historic Greenwich Village townhouse.)

Any word on who bombed the recruitment center in Times Sq. in 2008? Not a word.
In short, the enemies of America smell weakness and are happy to prey on it.
Even many of the men of previous generations have succumbed to “sensitivity training” and have become feminized over the same 20 years.
The churlish boy/men, Bill “Path to 911” Clinton, George “Shock and Awe for a day” Bush, and now Barrack “yes sir may I have another?” Obama have emboldened the enemy with their yielding & bowing natures.
My deepest sympathy to our Founding Fathers, and to all the men who bled and died for our safety. And my heartfelt sympathy for our troops serving heroically in foreign lands while their own homeland is under assault from the heartland, to Times Sq., from our airlines to our subways, from our bridges to our towers, from our military bases to our southern border. We are under attack morally, ethically, spiritually ...need I continue?
Where do we go from here?
Got Prayer?
Wow, so lots of cars have propane and gas tanks, wires, black powder and things that resembe EIDs (or is it IEDs?).
The MayDay commies wanted some fireworks?
