Times Square Bomber, life in prison

The vehicle had been parked on a tourist-crowded block at the eastern corner of 1 Astor Plaza (intersection of West 45th Street and Broadway), near the entrance to the Minskoff Theatre which was showing the musical The Lion King.

The team found in the rear of the vehicle:

* two travel alarm clocks with batteries that apparently were fashioned as triggering devices, connected by electrical wires to
* two red full 5-gallon cans of gasoline, sandwiching
* 40+ consumer-grade M-88 firecrackers inside a 20-ounce metal container (wrapped in duct tape, with its end removed),
* gunpowder,
* three full 20-gallon propane tanks, and
* a 55-inch (1,400 mm) x 32-inch (810 mm) green metal gun locker that contained:
o a metal pressure cooker pot containing a thicket of wires, that also connected to the alarm clocks;
o 250 pounds (110 kg) of urea-based fertilizer in 8 plastic bags; and
o 120 M-88s.[28][33][34][35][22][36]
