Did anyone else hear a brief breaking news report on CBS 11 pm news?
Of an explosion in a Times Square subway?

It isn't even on the CBS New York website.

And CNN doesn't have it.

Did I hallucinate or mishear?

Fireworks Cause Times Square Subway Explosion

POSTED: 10:08 pm EDT July 19, 2004

NEW YORK -- An explosion forced the evacuation of one of the city's busiest subway stations Monday.

Detectives said the explosion was caused by a bag full of fireworks.

The blast injured a police officer and caused gridlock in Times Square. Under ground, train service was disrupted. Meanwhile, traffic above ground was at a near standstill.

2. Thank you!
I was on the phone, looked up and my heart almost stopped. I took the TV off mute but then it was too late to know what was going on.

3. If it had been anything serious...
Tom Ridge would be all over the TV, telling you to go shopping and take in a Broadway play.

6. It was a teaser promo toward the end of CSI: Miami, so...
I assumed it was of little consequence or they would have interrupted the show.

Sure enough, just a bag of fireworks.

If they ever find a real bomb, you'll know about it.

10. Who were the suspects and did they show the fireworks?


Huum, if I wanted to protest, would I want to come to New York in August?
