The Time Square "event" looks like a failed Hollywood-Style explosion....

A common theme of Discovery's Mythbusters is that if you want a damaging explosion, you use explosives. If you want a special-effects style explosion, you use a small amount of explosives and lots of gasoline. And it's especially effective at night. And in Times Square, it's SURE to be captured on film.

So, this looks like a failed "terror attack" that was designed to be long on terror and short on damage.
