A New Yorker called a talk show this evening and told the host that there was an explosion in NYC last week or so, that hit phone service and that phone service would be out for a few weeks. The caller said that it was not widely reported but happened to his mom's phone service. I have no way to confirm or deny but just reporting what this caller said on am radio tonight.

The thing about NYC is that could easily have been a manhole explosion! Or something else like a contractor hitting a cable.

We had an odd notice in my apartment building lobby about a fire at Con Ed affecting some E23rd St area phone lines.
