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.

If you look real close at the steam cloud between the planter pot on the post
(on the upper left) and the signal light- you can see satan's face.

When I saw that on TV you’re the first thing I thought about, I didn’t know if you were close or not. Glad you were only held up for 45 minutes, could have been worse.

[RedRover]

Well, I thought you, too—seeing all those first responders trying to make their way through the crowds. Urban firefighters and rescue workers are a cut above.

[Girlene]

Wow, what a mess. Glad everything’s okay with you.

LOL! I don’t know if you are serious or wrote that in jest......But that was funny!

Youch! I am so glad you are OK.

[do the dhue]

dang, I did it one to many times.....

[RedRover]

I work way the heck downtown and live in the burbs north of the city, so I'm in and out of Grand Central everyday for the trains. When there's a problem there, it can mean a whole lot of walking!

By the way, this is what the street where I work looks like, looking south on Broadway (there used to be a couple of towers)...

[lilycicero]

You are a city boy for sure.

there used to be a couple of towers

*never forget*

i bet this is an evil schema by Bushco to bring a low-rise apartment building down so we can attack Iran. A typical false-flag building demolition. notice how the crater goes DOWN into the ground

Did anybody else ping a old-time NYfreeper and not have them show up to the thread besides me?

Be on the look out for this guy:

...wishful thinking?

"Hope nobody was under the manhole cover when it came back down...."

Worse to be on it when it went up.

[Spktyr]

You’d probably already be dead or unconscious by concussion either immediately or shortly after your flight started.

On the other hand, having the manhole cover come screaming down out of the sky and crush you would really suck, especially if you were looking up and saw it just before impact.

.......the pressure has increased to the point where the steam is really shooting out of that hole now.

I've really got to find a new FR handle.

LOL... geez that cracked me up! Certainly was a hole in one! LOL
