Some street vendor sees smoke coming of the vehicle and alerts the cops. This time they found a amateurish bomb in a Pathfinder on 45th and 7/8 Ave. It was "defused" before anything could occur. Bloomberg and NYPD said the bomb was intended to create a large fire.
It couldve been pretty effective considering the unseasonable weather yesterday, it was like 85+ F and with some winds. Everyone pushing and shoving, STAMPEDE! Its also pretty fucking hot today, and the humidity on top of it is disgusting, cant sleep in this weather. I dont have my fans or AC cleaned or set up, its too early.
Anyway so the explosive device consisted of...
Three propane tanks
Some commercial fireworks
Two 19-litre oil cans
Two functional clocks
Electrical wires attached and other shit.
