Apparently there was a car that they thought could have been a bomb or something

I'm guessing NYPD has closed down Times Square so they can investigate something. :)

Several blocks around New York's Times Square were closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic Saturday night after a police officer saw smoke emanating from a box inside a parked car, according to authorities.

Took the family to Times Square last Friday & Saturday. I have to admit, everytime I got on a Subway or was in Times Square I thought about this type of thing.

There is a manhunt right now for this guy ... I was actually out of the city this weekend, but wow, that would have been devastating. Would have shot fireballs all over Times Square, likely killing hundreds.

I hope they get this person. NYC will always be a target for somebody.

Scary because we were in the area just four hours give or take before the discovery (getting the bus to NJ). Glad it was taken care of, and I heard the police handled it very well and the crowd cooperated with the evacuations.

Looks like they may have caught the bastard (and I will use "may have" until all the evidence is out there):

Did you need help building that strawman? No one said or implied anything close to that. Except one idiot actively seeking offense.
