Building explosion at 32 East 62nd Street. Four story building collapses and is burning. Several people reported trapped in the rubble.
jeez.. probably not a terrorist attack but some random gas explosion, as usual..
Probably a gas explosion ...
Bomb factory?
Hate when that happens. Turn off the gas lines! At least hopefully that is all it was.
How many minutes before a DHS spokesdrone rushes to the camera saying it was nto a terror attack?
Takers, anyone?
That's a "residential" area, isn't it?
Oh no! Prayers up for all involved.
Residential block between Park and Madison. Reports say the building housed a doctor's office.
Seven.
Holy crappola on a Monday morning! "Work related accident"? Gas leak? Too much C4 on that hoagie, Achmed?
Definitely before 9:30
ping
Agreed!
Ah. My money was on fifteen.....
Terror or No Terror?
Better hope the declaration is non terror or Hillary and Schumer will be on TV nonstop blaming the cut in their DHS funding in NY.
People forget that natural gas lines into a building are usually under fairly high pressure and if there is a leak and a nearby spark, the resulting explosion is like that of a fuel-air explosive bomb, which can literally bring down older structures. I'm surprised there hasn't been more of the explosions at older buildings in the northeastern USA.
It it's not a terror attack, how long do you want them to wait?
CNN reporting that there may be a parking structure below.
Meanwhile the Fox News anchorfool is blathering about "This is an area where celebrities live" and asking their fire rescue guest if the fact that the ambulances have not yet taken anyone to the hospital a "possible good sign?"
