Building explosion at 32 East 62nd Street. Four story building collapses and is burning. Several people reported trapped in the rubble.
2000 Census put the median home price at $1 million
Way low...I think. I'm working on an 1800sf pre war apartment on 63rd between Park & lexington which was just purchased at a steal for 1.7 million.
Burtha's place was a 3-4 story building.
It must have been Bush's fault. How else would he have instantly known it was not due to terrorism?
Considering the supposed suicide message was sent via e-mail, maybe the doc didn't send it. If he didn't, wonder if anyone had it in for the doc?
Insurance money??
>probably a gas explosion<
And terrorists don't do gas. :o)
of course they do....they blew up an entire block in Moscow that way...
of course, that was denied a long time also
According to papers filed in relation to the divorce, the building, purchased in 1980 for a little over $390,000, was worth $5 million in 2002. As 2002 was a bad year for real estate in NYC (after the September 11th attacks), I'm sure this number has migrated upward since then.

The building is in his wife's name.
"As Assistant Secretary of the Navy, FDR also began cultivating his own intelligence sources. Among the most prominent was multi-millionare publisher and property developer Vincent Astor. In 1927, Astor had set up an informal intelligence group known as "The Room" that met monthly in New York City in an apartment building at 34 East 62d Street with a mail drop and an unlisted telephone number.
Prominent members of Yhe Room included FDR's cousin, Kermit Roosevelt, son of President Theodore Roosevelt; Banker Winthrom W. Aldrich; Judge Frederic Kernochan; Philanthropist William Rhinelander Stewart; the assistant secretary of air F. Trubee Davison; and David Bruce, who later served in London both as wartime chief of the OSS and as postwar ambassador."
Perhaps some old explosive secrets lying around??
"Prominent members of Yhe Room included FDR's cousin, Kermit"
I knew that frog gig was a front. Nothing but puppetry propaganda. Some even say Charlie McCarthy started the red scare while U.S. Senator.
Nah that would cause a mass evacuation. LOL
Maybe not. The residents ( as any sane persons) would be simply mesmerized by the horror of the sound. A deep primal instinct that fear of the unknown horror would paralyze them into temporary helplessness. Only when their brains have fully registered YOKO ONO would their limbic region scream out RUN RUN. Till then they would be trapped like freepers being forced to view Cindy Sheehan doing karoake.
Back in the 60's, my grandfather woke up and sat at the kitchen table. When he lit up his morning cig, it blew up his house and 2 of his neighbors. Died from 3rd degree burns.
The ambulances have not yet taken anyone to the hospital a "possible good sign?"...

Several weeks ago, this thief had to dump a co-op apt on Park & 66th for $10 million.
This building has only eight floors, with one approx. 4,000 sf apt. per floor.
The consensus was that each unit was worth about $15 million.
Bump....
