The Daily Mail reports that firefighters are also dealing with a number of manhole fires. That would lead investigators to suspect there was some sort of massive electrical issue.
Calls were received just before 6 a.m. for the reports at 580 Main St., which is just south of Roosevelt Island Bridge & Tram.
The New York City Emergency Management Department posted an alert on X right before 7:30 a.m., warning of road closures, mass transit disruptions and emergency personnel near Roosevelt Island.
Several tweets across the social media platform “X” reported people saying they were awoken by a loud noise, and that they felt their buildings shaking, Fox 5 in NYC reports.
“At 5:45 in the morning, we woke with what sounded like a large bang, and the whole building sort of moved in response to the bang,” Jennifer Cohen, who lives on Roosevelt Island, told WNYC. “I’ve never been through an earthquake, but it didn’t really feel like an earthquake.”
There are no reports of injuries.
NBC News reports one building was said to be shaking.

It sounds like the Hammies and their “palestinian goons” are taking out some revenge on JO JO for pretending to support the Jews.

Gas or terrorism or both? I see reports of four locations. Appears to have happened about three hours ago.

They’re pretty spectacular when they go up. Do they still use underground steam there?

I hate it when my manhole catches fire. Usually because of Hot Sauce and Jalapeños.
