VIDEO: IF TIMES SQUARE BOMB WOULD HAVE WORKED

On May 1, 2010 Faisal Shahzad's Times Square bomb did not go off. As a result, lives were saved, not because a coherent and proactive strategy had been implemented by the Department of Homeland Security but because it simply failed to detonate. How many lives would have been lost had the bomb exploded? There's no way to know for sure but this video will give you a good idea of how devastating such a blast would have been in a crowded city like Manhattan. Deaths would have been significant.

In this video, you will see a Nissan Pathfinder in a Pennsylvania field surrounded by other vehicles and human cut-outs. The vehicle contained a bomb similar to the one Shahzad had attempted to explode. It was released by federal prosecutors

Judge for yourselves.
