London Bomb Narrowly Averted

Late last night, London police discovered a car near Piccadilly Circus that was packed with gasoline, propane and nails. An ambulance crew saw smoke coming from the vehicle, which led to the discovery. Authorities say the car bomb, which was parked outside a large night club, could have killed hundreds of people.
The photo below is of the vehicle, a Mercedes, being towed away.

UPDATE: The London Times has more on the explosives. While some information is not public, this obviously would have been a major blast.
