Times Square evacuated after suspicious package found

Times Square has been evacuated after a suspicious package was found near 45th street, a New York Police Department official said.

The package was found near 45th Street and Broadway, officials said.

The evacuation comes six days after an SUV with explosives was left in Times Square resulting in the arrest of Faisal Shahzad.

NYer's nerves have got to be jaggling today. Prayers for them.

Unfortunately...they seem to have become used to this stuff, news cameras are showing them crowding up at barricades to watch and take pictures and talk on their cell phones. One guy they just showed is standing there with baseball cap on backwards, sunglasses on, and chomping on gum while he watches!
 
I'm guessing it is probably someone's lunch or something, but better to be safe than sorry. It's horrible it's gotten to this though.
 
I am glad to see how quickly officials responded though. Good job.
