Times Square Car Bomb


By now you may have heard about the failed car bomb which was found yesterday in Times Square.  Last night I happened to be walking through the neighborhood (my apartment is a couple blocks away) and I wondered why there were hundreds of police and tourists milling about the streets of the Theater District.  I thought maybe the Obamas were seeing a Broadway show (they were actually in D.C.) - and it wasn't until this morning when I learned about the failed bomb.

It's weird to think about, but if that bomb HAD gone off a lot of people would have been killed and/or injured - possibly including yours truly.

  8. When I say this today, I knew my friends in Harlem were alright but I did wonder how close you were. Thank heavens the vehicle was discovered and you and all your fellow New Yorkers (and visitors) were safe.
