New Yorkers finally have a reason to have love for Boston. In this case, it’s having love for the Boston Police department for finding the bombing suspects. Police investigators from Boston & the FBI have reported that the Tsarnaev brothers were planning to bomb the Times Square area of New York City last friday, the same day a huge manhunt was underway for the younger brother who managed to escape Police the night before when the older brother Tamerlan was shot and killed. The details of the New York bombing plan are pretty chilling, read about it after the jump.

The Boston Marathon bombers were headed for New York’s Times Square to blow up the rest of their explosives, authorities said Thursday, in what they portrayed as a chilling, spur-of-the-moment scheme that fell apart when the brothers realized the car they had hijacked was low on gas. Can you imagine that? Possibly the only reason they did not get to Bomb New York was because the car they stole just by chance didn’t have much gas. Who knows what destruction could of happened had they stolen a car with a full tank.
New York mayor Mike Bloomberg was quoted as saying:
“We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston. We’re just thankful that we didn’t have to find out that answer.”
New York Police commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother decided on the spot last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV, they had five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said. Because of the car they chose, they wound up being cornered by Police in Boston and having to shoot it out with Police, which resulted in the death of one suspect, and led to the eventual capture of the other. Those bombs would of caused much more damage in New York just due to the much larger amount of people who would be in the area compared to the Boston Marathon. Thank God for the way things work sometimes.
