Question: Major Explosion in Manhattan

Telephone call with client | 7/18/2007 | RinaseaofD's

[RinaseaofDs]

I just hung up with a client located on the E40's in Manhattan. Tons of sirens to the point where he felt compelled to check on what was up.

He came back to the phone and said there had just been a massive explosion near their building, and that they were evacuating.

Any NYC Freepers have any information on this? Happened at 6 PM EDT or there abouts.

It's the first time in history steam melted asphalt.

You were the first with the “steam” assumption and not ten minutes after the first-hand posting.
