(CNN)Members of the New York Police Department bomb squad are investigating the cause of an explosion in Central Park on Sunday that nearly blew a man's leg off, police said.
Preliminary investigation suggests the explosion was an "experiment with fireworks or homemade explosives," NYPD Deputy Chief John O'Connell said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.
"We do not have any evidence of a constructed device or commercial-grade fireworks," he said. "There are no specific, credible threats directed at New York or the July Fourth celebrations."
It is not unusual for people to try and make homemade fireworks around the Fourth of July, O'Connell said, calling such activity "completely unadvisable." Witnesses said the sound of the blast rippled through the park like a "cannon," scaring birds off trees. Some assumed it was a firework given the holiday weekend.
Nonetheless, the blast rattled New Yorkers, especially in the wake of recent acts of terror in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

Probably just another stunt by that nekked model. Trying to get a leg up on the competition.
I’d say the victim’s name would be the major discriminating factor (npi).
Defective sprinkler, huh.
I remember being in Hawaii, watching the live coverage of the London Tube bombings:
Time and time again the news anchors were admonishing that it was FAULTY WIRING.
That ludicrous excuse was trundled out even when the attack spread to BUSES.
RIDUCULOUS.
The victim was a tourist from Virginia - white Christian kid. Stepped on a landmine like device on a trail path in the park.
Man, that Meme nailed it.
You saying there was a cover-up? The NYPD has 50,000 people, how are they going to keep them all quiet? You know how much that would cost? And by the way, sub's don't carry anti-aircraft missiles. In any event, what does that have to do with internet videos insulting Islam? You know, don't you, that a missile would have gone for the engines, right? Besides, the wires near the center fuel tank heated up. Don't be delusional. Ask the witnesses were drunk anyway. Get a life. /s
IED’s:
They’re NOT just for Afghanistan, ANYMORE.
Wondering if the mussies are coming up with more atrocities by planting land mines in Central Park or any out door area where people frequent. But it’s those nasty Christian bakers and florists that are the real danger to America.
Notice how they don't say that anymore, huh.
Who is winning? What is the FIRST step we should take to start winning? EVERYONE here knows the answer to both of those.
IRDs are here.
Watch where you walk.
They are all there at the park? The investigative team is like a half a dozen people.

Rent free.....lol
And you can take that to the bank, Goldman Sacks that is. Because, poop runs downhill and the Mayor of NYC is a big Hillary Clinton backer.
Just because some kid stepped on a landmine in central park during Ramadan/ July 4th weekend just after the attacks all around the world by isis doesn’t mean it was terrorism! Nope. It was probably just a land mine hobbiest. Because that’s so common. And never mind the cops sweeping the park for more ied’s, they always do that. Because the ied/landmine hobbiest forget and leave them laying around all over, during Ramadan.
