Unattended Van Forces Condé Nast To Evacuate (Update: All Clear)
It’s 2001 all over again. Details are sketchy, but a source who is on staff at a Condé Nast title tells Mediaite that the Times Square building has just been evacuated. Apparently elevators at the 4 Times Square were turned off, and all staffers at were forced to walk down up to 20 flights of stairs. Reports also claim that the NASDAQ building around the corner has also been evacuated. UPDATE: Nothing suspicious was found in the van!
An unattended van parked nearby for the last day has shut down all of Times Square. Surprisingly, NY One is not yet covering this story.
Fox News is reporting:
DEVELOPING: New York City police closed down part of Manhattan’s Times Square on Wednesday after authorities identified a suspicious vehicle, Fox News has learned.
Investigators have called in a bomb squad to examine a 1992 Dodge van with tinted windows that has been parked at the location for two days.
A placard from a nonexistent law enforcement agency is reportedly on the dashboard of the vehicle, which has no license plates.
Watch a live video stream of the action at Times Square here.
