I'm not sure if I would have run away. I would for certain have been frightened

"Must be a LOT of sewer gas in NYC."

NYC is a sewer.

Yup, it was pretty foul. I’ve run into one person in my life who could not get through a sentence without using the f-bomb at least once. Must be pretty sad to not be able to express yourself without using foul language.

Last video at the link you can hear the boom. Pretty loud. Then the woman runs away saying ,”WTF was that?, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF...”

It's pretty easy for everyone to step up and point the finger at the "weak" NYers, but it's a safe bet that in Times Square on the weekend, almost everyone in the crowd is from out of town; this video would make that case.

(And I don't think anyone watching this would blame the young woman for running until she knew what the cause of the explosion was; an explosion is an explosion.)

And she somehow manages to keep the camera on her face the whole time. Maybe a gimbal?

Zillennials. 🙄

This must be a regular occurrence. I searched you tube and got numerous manhole explosion vids from past years.

The word Manhole is triggering a lot of liberals.

No one is blaming them for running.

I’m be getting out of their pretty quickly myself.

However, I also would not be sure to keep a camera trained on my face the whole time. Nor would I be spouting profanity non-stop.

All of Manhattan west of 7th Avenue from Houston to 34th is filled with manhole aficionados if you get my drift.

“Must be a LOT of sewer gas in NYC.”

I make no secret of my loathing for NYC.
As a kid forced to visit there, the hordes of city dwellers in their mega story anthillls and the filth shocked me. I wondered at the enormous sewage load from that place. Incomprehensible to a kid.

Sewer gas explosions from those millions of city dwellers has to be a concern. Pranksters should drop lighted matches down the sewer grates for fun.

I didn’t recognize her accent as being indigenous to any borough of NYC.

Well, it IS Ramadan. It makes sense to run.

What causes a manhole explosion?

I dislike cities to begin with. Don’t like the crowds and noise and lack of green.

We’re on 21 acres in remote NH and love it. There’s wildlife everywhere.
