NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Emergency responders are rushing to the scene of an explosion at a building in Manhattan’s 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.
That’s interesting and could save lives and property. Thanks.
Yep. NYU owns most of that part of town. My daughter worked for NYU at a building a block away (Bdwy) from this fire/collapse.
Cool with that, thank you!
I hear ya.

Not quite like “the accident” but similar. And if anyone knows what I’m talking about and can tell me where I can find that story, I’d appreciate it.
