Just returned from TS & it looks like a war zone.
It looks as if the area was expanding & we just got into the 42 nd street station.They way things were looking, we may have been lucky getting out when we did. Luckily,we saw Million Dollar Quartet so we were out of the area although we did see the flshing lights when we came from dinner.

Posted: 5/1/10 at 11:51pmI have two specific firefighters in mind from the 8th Ave firehouse who like to wear their blue shorts in warm weather, one of whom I shall presume went rogue with the info. I salute his roguery.

I miss when high school students couldn't wait to grow up and wanted to be treated like adults. From the Times coverage on students stuck in Times Square restaurants:
::Priscilla Garner, 17, said she enjoyed the experience. “I got free ice cream, they gave us crayons to color with,” she said.::

I saw Everyday Rapture tonight and had no idea this happened until I got home! My goodness, that's mightily scary!
(But the show was fantastic!)

I left Defending the Caveman about 6:45, went to TKTS bought tickets to American Idiot, walked down to go to 44th street, saw the Fire Department putting out the fire on 45th, cops were gathering and started to close off the streets. Also saw that they lifted the manhole covers, I thought maybe the fire may have been underground.
American Idiot started about 10 minutes late, when they let out, they made us go to 8th Ave, I asked if the subways were effected the cops said no. Went to times square subway station via passage way on 8th and 43rd.
Did not know what was going on until I go home.

Everyday Rapture also started about ten minutes late, but I didn't think anything of it. Since the theatre is on 42nd Street, they did not mention any kind of special evacuation.

Posted: 5/2/10 at 12:37amTaylorPhenomenon, Thanks. Just noticed that. I just saw that the description said Lunt-Fontanne and posted it here. Didn't realize till I finished the vid and you replied that the location was wrong.

Posted: 5/2/10 at 12:39amCome Fly Away started at about 8:30 tonight but the cast and a lot of the musicians had to come through the main entrance of the theatre because the SD was blocked. Most shows in the immediately affected area probably started late (i.e. Lion King at 9pm)

Just got home and looking on the web (because apparently it's already old news on TV), someone reminded us that the bomb scare was in front of the MTV building, which owns Comedy Central.
Coincidence?

Posted: 5/2/10 at 12:52amI was there this afternoon, we had lunch at Juniors and saw La Cage(which I loved)then we tried to get tickets to American Idiot at TKTS but decided not to take them, then went to Starbucks at the Mariott like around 6ish, it was crazy on 44th street there were buses being loaded and unloaded right there then we headed for the train, so we missed the bedlam by 15 minutes thank goodness we didn't stay

Posted: 5/2/10 at 12:57amMaybe I'm just really out of it, but I don't get the connection with Comedy Central. Can someone explain?

Posted: 5/2/10 at 12:59amComedy Central got threatened by Muslim extremists because South Park made an episode about Muhammad.

What sticks in my craw is the off detail that the suspects who abandoned the SUV "left the flashers on."
Seems to me trained terrorists would make the soon-to-explode object as IN-conspicuous as possible.
Leaving the flashers on is oddly exhibitionistic.
Something's not adding up here.

"Comedy Central got threatened by Muslim extremists because South Park made an episode about Muhammad."
It could be, but part of me thinks it's a coincidence.

Anyone else a little annoyed the only coverage is on MSNBC or FOX News? I didn't know until about 30 minutes ago something happened. And what's up with NY1 and CNN barely mentioning it?

ME!! I just got home about an hour ago and had no idea what was going on. I saw the headline on Gothamist and turned it to CNN...nothing. NY1...nothing. MSNBC...thanks for the news, but you suck. CNN has coverage now, but it's not great. I want Anderson is his Prada straight from Times Square!!
