Grand Central Station Hit By Bomb Scare

Most New Yorkers were probably at home watching the Oscars, but those out and about might have noticed a hiccup in the MTA last night. Trains started skipping Grand Central Station last night, and the Times Square Shuttle was shut down over a bomb scare, DNAinfo reports. At 9:40, a spokesman confirmed that services were down for "an NYPD investigation" but wouldn't say more; at 10:15, another confirmed it had been a bomb scare of some kind.

While the media largely missed the incident, reports of it did light up Twitter.

Then again - it wouldn't serve any agenda now would it.
