NYC's Times Square Evacuated in Bomb Scare

This is crazy, according to some sources, some guy was driving a vehicle down 7th avenue in Times Square, when suddenly something explodes in the back of his car. He jumps out the vehicle and abandons it, and disappears into the crowd. Times Square has been shut down because of this incident.

The incident in New York City's Times Square that began with a suspicious vehicle appears to have developed into a real threat from a fire bomb, according to one official account.

All reports indicate the vehicle contained gasoline, propane and possibly gun powder. Incindiary devices are not explosive devices, but are lethal.

The incident began around 6:35 p.m., when the Fire Department of New York responded to a car fire in the vicinity of 45th Street and 7th Avenue, and because of suspicious characteristics of the vehicle, the police department ESU was notified.

The car was identified as a Land Rover with a Connecticut or unmatched license plate. The car is still unsafe to perform appropriate diagnostics on. It is being confirmed as an actual incendiary device.

Bomb techs from the FBI New York office were on scene with the NYPD Bomb Squad to aid in the investigation.

They said no taliban connection, but have a video of a white man in his 40s who they believe came out of the SUV.
