Mystery boom puzzles Staten Island residents
Staten Island residents are trying to figure out what caused a loud boom that was heard in at least six neighborhoods.
The explosion-like blast rattled windows of homes at about 7:55 p.m. Monday. It could be heard for miles.
Police and firefighters responded to numerous calls to 911, but the loud noise remained a mystery on Tuesday.
Police say they found no explosion anywhere in the borough and Con Edison reported no outages or transformer explosions.
