About 24-hours after the Times Square terror scare, firefighters and the NYPD bomb squad rushed to a storefront at 1133 Broadway after getting calls from people who thought they saw a bomb inside. What they found, however, was an art display that included a fog machine, a fake time bomb and vials of liquid (turns out it was perfume) that looked like pipe bombs.
The unfortunate piece was created by artist Lisa Kirk, and the perfume inside is called "Revolution," which is meant to smell like smoke, gasoline, tear gas, burnt rubber and decaying flesh.
Kirk told the NY Post, "I feel really bad that that happened. I know they're really busy... There are more important things to deal with than some art installation."
Currently there's an added written explanation next to the display noting that it's just art. Up next: terrorists writing handwritten letter decoys.
