bloomberg described it as amateurish but dangerous and says it could have caused a deadly event. across the country, thousands of protesters took to the streets saturday to rally against arizona's tough new immigration laws. they say it is racist and want president barack obama to tackle immigration reform immediately. two bombs rocked a mos income the somali city of mogadishu. the twin attack killed 45 people, wounded many more. it happened in an area that is the stronghold of a militant group on the u.s. terrorist list. welcome back to hln on this sunday. i'm susan hendricks. we have more on our top story out of new york. police have found a car bomb inside of an suv parked in new york's busy times square. the bomb did not explode, but the vehicle did catch fire and now it has been towed away. wally zeins is a former new york city police hostage negotiator. he joins me my phone. thanks for taking the time here. it couldn't have turned out better, you could say, president obama even praising the nypd for doing everything right. tell us what's next in the investigation. >> absolutely. by the way, my hats off to the nypd as always. in this particular investigation, right now what they're doing is taking the car to a location where you can look at the car like a microscope slide. they're going to put that car under a slide and take every inch of that car and go over it to find some sort of fingerprint or some sort of investigative need that can help them in this investigation. in addition, the vehicle identification number was missing on the car, and there are hidden -- what we call hidden vins, and they will find those vins and they will trace it. and this investigation, wherever that car came from, that's where this investigation is going to go. in addition to that, the license plates didn't belong to the car, and that car then -- they were connecticut plates, so they will be taking the investigation to connecticut. in addition, they'll also be looking at all the security cameras. new york city is one big eye in the sky from security cameras from all the different buildings and hotels that are there. in addition to that, they'll be checking the bridge and tunnel security cameras because the car had to come into new york city. and as you know, new york is an island. >> it certainly is. as i can imagine in times square a lot of cameras would be focused on that particular area. also mayor michael bloomberg, wally, while he says we avoided what could have been a very deadly event. i think the man passing by, who decided to say, hey, that vehicle doesn't look right, should be credited for helping this, for helping save maybe dozens of people. >> absolutely. you're 100% people. you have to be vigilant. we all have to work as a team -- civilians, law enforcement, the media. if you see something out there, report it. and, you know, another interesting concept is that the collateral damage in this particular incident, for example, the psychological effect of a car bomb found in midtown manhattan during theater district time is going to leave an effect. so this investigation is going to really, really pan out, both city, state, and federal. the nypd fortunately works with the terrorist task force, the head of the fbi and they'll all be working as a team. >> brings a lot of people back to 9/11, the outcome obviously very much different thanks to the nid and that passerby. wally zeins, appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. deadly flash floods forced hundreds of people out of their homes in tennessee. come see this incredible video right here from nashville. that is a mobile home on the left-hand side of your screen just floating down the highway. it broke apart when it crashed into a car. at least five deaths

will visit louisiana later today to get a first-hand look at the oil spill that is making landfall along parts of the gulf coast. the oil began washing ashore on friday, hitting some sensitive wildlife areas. louisiana governor bobby jindal warns the spill will have a terrible impact on the state's economy, as well, if cleanup and prevention measures aren't ramped up soon. >> we literally flew over the impacted areas, flew over some of the offshore areas to assess the needs of our local officials to see first hand this oil, the booms and the operations to see the response effects taking place. we continue to be concerned about bp's ability to respond to this incident. as we continue to work with local leaders on the ground, we are focused on forward-leaning, proactive action. i want to be very clear about this point. again, this isn't just about our coast, it's about our way of life in louisiana, our shrimpers, the fishermen, the coast that make louisiana sportsmans' paradise. this all makes up louisiana. it's our way of life. we have to do everything we can to protect our land, protect our businesses and our communities. >> the oil is already having an impact on businesses around the gulf coast. a man who operates several private ferries to a barrier island off the coast of mississippi says his livelihood may be ruined. >> we have about $3 million worth of boats sitting here prepared for what we thought was going to be about 50,000 passengers this summer. for all intents and purposes, our business is over. >> well, no one knows what impact the oil will have on the gulf coast's thriving tourism and seafood business. a lot of people are predicting the worst, though. a director of an environmental group says if the oil makes it into oyster beds it could ruin them for up to two decades. if you can imagine that. in florida's panhandle, there were lots of calls from tourists canceling trips. a recent written bomb threat this on a plane turns out to be a hoax. last night police interviewed passengers and crew members aboard a flight that boarded in philadelphia. a crew member found the suspicious message written on a bathroom mirror and notified air-traffic controllers. another weekend filled with severe weather. how long will it last? let's go back to bonnie to find out. hi, bonnie. hi, susan. we are tracking severe weather across the south once again. the threat for flooding is really the biggest one i'm tracking today. it does include places that saw over a foot of rain already in tennessee. you can see we have a lot of rain accumulating in parts of the south, flood watches and warnings set in advance of this system. also it's going to be a hot one ahead of the front. look at this. high temperatures in washington once again, over 90 degrees, 93 degrees today for a high temperature in the forecast in our nation's capital. new york city, 86. 87 in atlanta. and atlanta you'll see some rain, as well, in the forecast as that front pushes to the east. behind us, we have much cooler air. in denver, a high of 52, san francisco, 68, and in los angeles, 70. note the weather in phoenix, arizona. 83 degrees. it will be windy in both phoenix and also further off to the east in albuquerque, new mexico. we'll see windy conditions there, a high of 75 in las vegas. so if you're watching us from tennessee, anywhere in the midsouth, just be prepared. we've had some tornado watches early this morning, we still run the risk for severe weather in advance of the system. but remember with all the water having accumulated yesterday, do not attempt to drive on any road that's covered with water because you don't know how deep it is. we've seen a lot of rescues yesterday for people that did get stuck in their cars due to all the heavy rain. keep it tuned right here on hln. i'll bring you weather updates throughout the day. we are covering breaking news out of new york city this morning. times square shut down

>> no shattering of the windows, but it did move the car. you could see, like, sparks, you know. you could see it. i mean, visibly clear. following breaking news out of new york, our top story this morning, here's what we do know. police say the bomb was inside a nissan pathfinder with tinted windows and connecticut license plates. those plates apparently don't match the vehicle and may have been taken from a junkyard. inside of the suv authorities found explosive material including three propane tanks and two five-gallon containers of gasoline. they also found electrical wire, two clocks with batteries and a black metal box that looked like a gun locker. the device itself is being described as amateurish, crude, but potentially powerful. >> it was made up of consumer-grade fireworks that you can buy in pennsylvania and drive into new york. and the wiring was nothing that -- looked amateurish, i think, is a nice way to phrase it. >> more on that breaking news out of new york. so far no word on who parked the suv in times square, but police say they do have surveillance video of that car being driven on 45th street. they are now looking for more video from office buildings in the area and may even ask people who were in that area at that particular time to submit personal photos they may have taken. be sure to keep it here on hln. we'll keep you updated on this breaking news throughout the morning. but right now here are some of the other stories we're covering for you. deadly flash floods forced hundreds of people out of their homes in tennessee. come see this incredible video from nashville. that is a mobile home on the left-hand side of your screen just floating down the highway. it broke apart when it crashed into a car. at least five deaths are blamed on widespread flooding in tennessee. also, rising water stranded lots of people on flooded roads, as you see here. even big rigs were swamped on waterlogged highways. here is a look at memphis, tennessee. a real mess. it got ten inches of rain just yesterday. emergency crews had to use boats to rescue folks from their homes. also inmates at a federal prison had to be evacuated. those living in the area had little warning before floodwaters hit their neighborhoods. >> we were just watching tv. we heard some kind of megaphone in the background. so i went to the door to see what was going on. and the police car was driving down the street saying that the neighborhood's flooding. it's coming our way. get in your cars and get out look at that woman trying to evacuate her dog. one town outside of memphis has really become an island. it looks like this. most of the roads in and out of millington are flooded and impassable right now. almost a foot of rain flooded neighborhoods in some areas, floating cars, even. it may not be over. meteorologist bonnie schneider joins us with what's in store for folks there in nashville. hi, bonnie. >> hi. tennessee has seen treacherous weather yesterday, and it's not over yet. flood warnings continue throughout the day today, and flood watches are now set in advance of this system that is bringing tremendous rain. as you mentioned, up to a foot across parts of tennessee. take a look at the map and you'll see what's going on. we have severe weather and flooding expected, not just in tennessee but also in kentucky through lower sections of missouri as well. this is going to be a rough go of it for those of you that are traveling on i-20 or i-40. also memphis saw record rainfall yesterday. the city of memphis received over six inches. it's important to note, there were isolated areas of shelby county that did see over ten inches of rain. so even early this morning, water covers the roads. you want to be very careful. it's actually been advised to not even try to travel across parts of tennessee that are flooded. remember, it doesn't take much water to dislodge your vehicles. so if you see water that covers a roadway, do not attempt to cross it. we'll have more on the flooding and the rest of the severe weather throughout the day on hln. susan? >> certainly good advice. stay inside if you can. we'll check back in a few. bonnie, thanks. >> sure. arkansas took another hit from a new round of tornadoes. at least two touched down last night in central arkansas, but luckily they didn't cause any major damage. that is quite a contrast to what happened friday night. look at this. the aftermath. the extensive damage from deadly twisters left behind after ripping through the area. they leveled homes, overturned cars and uprooted trees. they were that powerful. one woman was killed and two dozen others injured. >> i was just watching the tv, and they were saying that it was at kerr and graham, just past south bend, and i knew it was headed my way. i had to make a quick decision. so i just jumped in my truck and drove back out of my house. i live in a mobile home, and i was worried about that. just about that time, by the time i got back, it just started shaking, and i headed for the @@ backdoor, and it was all gone in about five seconds. >> he didn't have much time to move. the governor toured the area south of little rock yesterday and declared a state of emergency. president obama will visit louisiana later today to get a firsthand look at the oil spill that is making landfall along parts of the gulf coast. the oil began washing ashore on friday, hitting some sensitive wildlife areas. louisiana governor bobby jindal warns the spill will have a terrible impact on the state's economy as well if cleanup and prevention measures aren't ramped up soon. >> we literally flew over the impacted areas, flew over some of the offshore areas to assess the needs of our local officials to see firsthand this oil, the booms and the operations to see the response taken place. we continue to be concerned about bp's ability to respond to this incident. as we continue to work with local leaders on the ground, we are focused on forward-leaning, proactive action. i want to be very clear about this point. again, this isn't just about our coast, it's about our way of life in louisiana. our shrimpers, our fishermen, the coast that make louisiana sportsman's paradise, so we've got to do everything we can to protect our land, protect our businesses and our communities. the oil is already having an impact on businesses around the gulf coast. a man who operates several private ferries to a barrier island off the coast of mississippi says his livelihood may be ruined. >> we have about $3 billion worth of boats sitting here prepared for what we thought was going to be about 50,000 passengers this summer. for all intents and purposes, our business is over. >> well, no one knows what impact the oil will have on the gulf coast's thriving tourism and seafood business. a lot of people are predicting the worst, though. the director of an environmental group says if the oil makes it into oyster beds, it could ruin them for up to two decades, if you can imagine that. in florida's panhandle, many hotels report lots of calls from tourists canceling trips. arizona new immigration law brought tens of thousands of people to the streets across the country. they want it changed and they want president obama to tackle the issue now. >> need to get away from the races and find a solution. find a solution million people here in the united states here without documents but families getting deported and children left alone. it's not right. it's not american. >> i'm holding the american flag. i'm proud to be holding it because i'm a proud american citizen against this law. we need immigration reform. >> protests took place in big cities like dallas, also chicago. in los angeles police say 50,000 people showed up for that massive downtown march. it was kicked off by cuban born singer gloria estefan. three suspects may have been involved in friday's attack near phoenix. that's video from friday. the deputy was on patrol in the desert when he came across a stash of marijuana and five suspected smugglers. the two sides traded at least 30 shots and a bullet grazed the deputy. three people have been questioned so far but are not believed to be the actual shooters. we are covering breaking news out of new york city this morning. times square shut down overnight when a car bomb was located. now the bomb squad is taking a closer look at that device. we'll have the latest. plus, more than 2 million people in the boston area are being told not to drink their tap water. this is what caused the problem. national car rental?

bloomberg described it as amateurish but dangerous and says it could have caused a deadly event. across the country, thousands of protesters took to the streets saturday to rally against arizona's tough new immigration laws. they say it is racist and want president barack obama to tackle immigration reform immediately. two bombs rocked a mosque. yesterday's twin attack killed 45 people, wounded many more. it happened in an area that is the strong hold of a militant group on the u.s. terror list. welcome back to hln on this sunday. i'm susan hendricks. we have more on our top story out of new york. police have found a car bomb inside of an suv parked in new york's busy times square. the bomb did not explode but the vehicle did catch fire and now it has been towed away. a former new york city police hostage negotiator joins me now by phone. thank you for taking the time here. it couldn't have turned out better. president obama even praising the nypd for doing everything right. tell us what's next in the investigation. >> absolutely. my hat is off to nypd as always. right now in this investigation is they are taking the car to a location where you can look at the car like a microscope slide. they will put that car under a slide and take from every inch of that car and go over it to find some sort of fingerprint or some sort of investigative need that can help them in this investigation. in addition, the vehicle identification number was missing on the car. there are hidden vines a s and will find those and trace it and this investigation, wherever that car came from, is where this investigation will go. in addition to that, the license plates didn't belong to the car and that car -- they were connecticut plates so they will take the investigation to connecticut. in addition, they'll also be looking at all of the security cameras. new york city is one big eye in the sky from security cameras from all the different buildings and hotels that are there. in addition to that, they will check bridge and tunnel security cameras because the car had to come into new york city and new york is an island. >> as i imagine in times square a lot of cameras would be focused on that particular area. mayor michael bloomberg said we avoided what could have been a very deadly event, think the man passing by who decided to say that vehicle doesn't look right is really should be credited for helping save maybe dozens of people. >> absolutely. you know, you are 100% right. you have to be vigilant. we all have to work as a team. both civilians, law enforcement, media. if you see something out there, report it. another interesting concept is that the collateral damage in this particular incident, the psychological effect of a car bomb found in mid town manhattan during theater district time will leave an effect. this investigation is going to really, really pan out both city, state and federal. nypd fortunately works with the terrorist task force out of the fbi and they'll work as a team. >> brings a lot of people to 9/11. outcome obviously much different thanks to nypd and that passerby. appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. deadly flash floods forced hundreds of people out of their homes in tennessee. come see this incredible video here from nashville. that is a mobile home on your screen floating down the highway. it broke apart when it crashed into a car. five deaths are blamed on widespread flooding in tennessee and rising waters stranded lots of people on flooding roads as you see here. even big rigs were swamped on water-logged highways. arkansas took another hit from a new round of tornadoes. at least two touched down last night in central arkansas. luckily they didn't cause any major damage. that is quite a contrast to what happened friday night. look at this. the aftermath. the extensive damage from deadly twisters left behind after ripping through the area. they leveled homes, overturned cars and uprooted trees they were that powerful. one woman was killed and two dozen others injured. >> i knew it was heading my way so hi to make a quick decision so i just jumped in my truck and drove back out of my house because i live in a mobile home. i was worried about that. and it was all gone in about five seconds. >> he didn't have much time to move. the governor toured the area south of little rock yesterday and declared a state of emergency. emergency crews are using special oil booms to protect the gulf coast from that oil slick. president obama may see some of that effort when he goes there today. it can be a challenge to make those oil booms do their job. richard lui explains how they work. >> reporter: we were here yesterday on dauphin island when they were deploying about 300, 400 yards of boom to protect this e this area. they were deploying this. they had four or five boats. they had about 20 personnel trying to anchor two ends of two lines of booms very quickly and behind me you can see some of these booms are loose. not at all connected anymore. the anchor on one side completely gone. the anchor on the other side still down. an anchor on one side doesn't work. you need to have it on two sides. this is one boom. one end they need to anchor it and other end they need to anchor it. what will happen sometimes as currents change the arc will move the other way. in this case behind me, that's what happened. the arc moved the other way and it then hit the shore because the arc was facing towards the ocean. and that is what they have to deal with all up and down the coast as we've been reporting the miles that they have to cover with these booms and dynamics and problems and challenges going forward as the weather changes here in the gulf. so now what they're trying to do is to take off this yellow rope. they'll rejoin the anchor on this end and if you look farther to the left, what you'll see is the other half that was curled up next to me earlier, they'll try to connect that to what you see way to our left. that's still outside. they brought in two boats in the last 10, 15 minutes. they'll pull that in. put them together and try to get them out there. this is a lot of work. this is something they put out yesterday about 24 hours ago. they'll do it again. and probably have to do it again because the waves and the weather system is affecting all of their defenses here as they look at this oil slick. so that's a situation right now. you have residence ts on one si trying to continue their life and environmental and companies working together to put life together here on dauphin island. back to you. another weekend filled with severe weather. how long will it last? let's go back to bonnie to find out. >> we're tracking severe weather across the south once again. the threat for flooding is really the biggest one i'm tracking today. it does include places that saw over a foot of rain already. a lot of rain accumulating in parts the south. flood watches and warnings are set in advance of this system and also it's going to be a hot one ahead of the front. high temperatures in washington once again, over 90 degrees. 93 degrees for a high temperature in our nation's capital. new york city, 86. 87 in atlanta. atlanta, you'll see rain in the forecast as this front pushes to the east. now, behind this we have much cooler air in denver a high of 52. san francisco, 68. los angeles, 70. note the weather in phoenix, arizona. 83 degrees. windy in both phoenix and also further off to the east in albuquerque, new mexico. we'll see windy conditions there. a high of 75 in las vegas. so if you're watching us from tennessee, anywhere in the mid south, just be prepared. tornado watches early this morning. we run the risk of severe weather in advance of the system. with all of the water having accumulated yesterday, do not attempt to drive on any road that is covered with water because you don't know how deep it is and we did see a lot of rescues yesterday for people that got stuck in their cars because of heavy rain. i'll bring you weather updates throughout the day. we're covering breaking news out of new york city this morning. times square shut down overnight when a car bomb was located. now the bomb squad is taking a closer look at that device. we'll have the latest. plus,

this particular investigation right now what they're doing is taking the car to a location where you can look at a car like a microscope slide. they're going to put it under a slide and take from every inch of that car and go over it to find some sort of fingerprint or some sort of investigative need that can help them in this investigation. in addition, the vehicle identification number was missing on the car and there are hidden -- what we call hidden vins. they will find those vins and they will trace it. this investigation, wherever that car came from, that's where this investigation is going to go. in addition to that the license plates didn't belong to the car and that car -- they were connecticut plates, so they will take the investigation to connecticut. in addition, they'll also be looking at all the security cameras. new york city is one big eye in the sky from security cameras from all the different buildings and hotels that are there. in addition to that, they'll be checking bridge and tunnel security cameras because the car had to come into new york city. as you know, new york is an island. >> it certainly is. as i can imagine in times square, a lot of cameras would be focused on that particular area. also mayor michael bloomberg, wally, says we avoided what could have been a very deadly event. i think the man passing by, the one who decided to say, hey, that vehicle doesn't look right, is really should be credited for helping this, for helping save maybe dozens of people. >> absolutely, you're 100% right. you've got to be vigilant. we all have to work as a team, the civilians, law enforcement, the media. if you see something out there, report it. another interesting concept is, is that the collateral damage in this particular incident, for example the psychological effect of a car bomb found in midtown manhattan during theater district time is going to leave an effect, so this investigation is going to really, really pan out both city, state and federal. the nypd fortunately works with the terrorist task force out of the fbi and they'll all be working as a team. >> it brings a lot of people back to 9/11, the outcome obviously much different thanks to the nypk and that passer by. wally, appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. deadly flash floods forced hundreds of people out of their homes in tennessee. come see this incredible

what they have to deal with up and down the coast as we have been reported the miles they have to cover with these booms and some of the dynamics and problems going forward. now, what they are trying
