A suspicious looking van caused a bit of a bomb scare near the site of the New Year Eve ball drop today, and workers from a few buildings -- including Condé Nast's building and NASDAQ's HQ -- were reportedly asked to evacuate into the freezing cold.
A suspicious device was found in an SUV.Police confirmed that the device was a bomb, but there was no explosion and Times Square was safely evacuated. The story is still developing.

Live webcams are pointed at Times Square 24/7, and that means the events were streamed live on the web. Earthcam (embedded below), currently shows a deserted scene outside TGI Friday’s on 46th St and Broadway. But at 7pm, the live cam showed a packed street — by 8pm, there were only a couple of bystanders. At 9pm, Times Square was deserted save for police vehicles.
