Times Square on New Year's to be safest place in the world: police

Coming from this New Yorker, if you believe what the title of the article states, I have a bridge that goes to Brooklyn which I will sell you for a cheap price. Most New Yorkers don't go to Times Square on New Year's eve anyway, and, I've met more Japanese people than natives who have been there on that night. As far as safety is concerned, there is probably no place safer than your own home when it comes to terrorism . That said, I really hope all goes well and wish I was going to be in NYC, but definitely not in Times Square.

Safest place in the world?

I can think of many safer places than being in that large of a gathering, with over 6000 police and heavily armed counterterrorism teams!

Times Square on New Year's to be safest place

Not if all the "Tashfeen Maliks' " come out. Times Square has got to be one the biggest targets for radical islam. I would say, nypd can handle it, but after what happened in Paris last November . . . . you just don't know anymore.

The "safest place in the world" ?? That has to be right here in Japan, doesn't it? I can't think of a safer place. Go to Times Square in downtown New York on New Year's Eve ... and mingle with pickpockets, molesters, con-artists ... plus the "safe" people. Nah. Not really 100% "safe" there ...

God forbid, but famous last words !

Har!

That has to be right here in Japan, doesn't it?

Nope more like Iceland is the safest country in the world.
