I remember when my mum smelt propane Gas in the garage. Now we USED to have propane tanks from our caravan trips stored, combine this with electrical equipment and the batteries also in the garage and under any other situation you might think we "could" be up to something. Especially if my family also unfortunately happened to come from the Middle East or had a tan from Holiday.
In some situations 2+2 doesn't always equal 4 to a few people.

Living in nyc you know there's cars all over the place, i really don't think this is such a big deal though. More like the NYPD trying to look responsible over something minor cause they messed up big time a few months back. Does anybody else remember the minivan with no license plates that was left in the middle of times squares for like 3 days and no one noticed? idn cars do go on fire sometimes out of the blue, idn why im not a car guy, but I have seen 2 incidents before this of a parked car just randomly going on fire.

Riiiight...as if there haven't been enough Muslim extremists causing this sort of racket that you have to blame what the DHS calls "rightwing extremists".....
BTW, I fear Communism since I was born in a Communist regime and lived there, and according to Janet Napolitano if you fear Communism you can be a "possible terrorist"... what a stupid, and ignorant witch...

Not a big deal?
And you live in NY?
And cars catch on fire all the time?
Look...this was a BOMB , placed in a highly crowded area. If it worked at the time it was supposed to work, there would have been plenty of deaths and a HUGE BIG DEAL in your little city.
But you think "eh, no big deal".
And they say Americans are mindless cows unaware of their own surroundings and deaf to the world around them.
Bah...

Just a quick question for most of you.
What are the chances that Islamic fundamentalists actually have and continue to try to carry out attacks against the "West?"
According to most people here, very low. I mean why should I trust thousands of experts from fields such as national security, international relations, middle eastern culture, the military and many many more.
These people have invested their life's work into understanding their field in order to provide information to the public. It is a much safer bet to believe whatever under-educated, random people who go by internet usernames say. I mean you are all experts in terrorism, politics, global economics and a whole range of other issues, right? Thats why you spend all the time in the world on ATS providing "proof" instead of being able to make a change in the world or influence the actual information and decision making process of our governments.
All you morons saying "this is definitely CIA, FBI, ect" need to stfu imo. I would be open to the fact that our own government is carrying out attacks on its own citizens, that is, if it wasn't for your unfounded blabbering that displays just how G-D out of your element you are. If you are going to make ludicrous claims, try conducting some serious research and not just regurgitating the same speculative and unfounded sh# you heard third hand through the internet.
The way you present your arguments and "evidence" tends to push intelligent and scholarly individuals away from your "side", because as much as you may not want to believe it, a majority of you come off as ignorant and childish.

If they also said there was Radiological grade elements in the car, and it was primed as a "Dirty Bomb" would you have believed that too?
