NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Emergency responders are rushing to the scene of an explosion at a building in Manhattans East Village.
The collapse was reported at around 3:20 p.m. at 7th Street and Second Avenue Thursday afternoon.
Multiple injuries have been reported, the Fire Department said.
The collapse occurred at 125 Second Avenue, which is a residential and commercial building.
Fire could be seen tearing through at least two buildings at the location.
The fire quickly escalated to four alarms, according to the FDNY.
Happy to report I have NEVER been in that part of the world and I never plan on going there. Sorry, but my sympathy for NYC ends with the words de Blasio
father - FARTHER
There are too many people in the world.
I agree with you
We recently visited NYC. While having coffee at an historic hotel, I commented on how many of the “updates” reminded me of Mexico....quite a bit of conduit ran around the walls/ceilings.
I thought they were filming a Zombie Apocalypse movie or something.
Why don’t you shut up.
a journalist wants access to my mom’s roof.
This is a Ukrainian neighborhood.
Ukrainians may have lived in that building.
Grew up on 12th and 2nd ave. ‘56 to ‘71 ... Not to be flippant but this s#!t happens all the time. Just a normal day in the East Village.
Few years ago a woman walking her pooch in Manhattan stepped on steel street plate and was electrocuted.
Have fun but stay vigilant in the Apple
zig
Yeah, happens all the time.................
Where are Ayers and Dohrn?
Don’t know. I’ve never been to the Big Apple...............
I don’t know, but they should be in prison or death row.............
has Ed Schultz blamed it on the Republicans yet? like when he blamed the Republicans for the bridge collapse in Minnesota?
lousy contractor = brother in law, mexican, or both...........
Someone is getting mugged back there............
1900 is the last year of the 19th century..............
