[Image]At about 2 p.m. Sunday, NYPD breached a 55 by 32 inch gun locker inside the car and found it contained eight bags of an unknown, fertilizer-like substance and an inverted pot with a "bird's nest" of wires. There were three propane tanks next to the gun locker, two five-gallon jerry cans of gasoline, and a timing device, police officials said.
[Image]There was no high-grade explosive, and the timing device was clocks attached to wires. Attached to the propane tanks were M88 fireworks, some of which went off.
[Image]One alarm clock appeared to be wired into the gun locker. Another alarm clock was wired to a can with up to 30 M88 firecrackers resting between the cans of gasoline. Surveillance cameras observed the vehicle entering Times Square at 6:28pm Saturday evening.
The noted salt and bomb expert Michael Bloomberg (the idiot mayor, not the news service) offered his keen insights into the bomb's construction.
[Image]"The wiring ... looked amateurish, I think, is a nice way to phrase it," Bloomberg added later. "It was made up of consumer-grade fireworks that you can buy in Pennsylvania and drive into New York.
