A building in East Harlem in Manhattan that was more than 90 years old exploded, bringing down and damaging others in the area. The explosion was linked to a gas leak, as residents had previously smelled something that had been coming from outside the building.
The gas company, ConEdison was on it's way to the area, but it was too late, as the explosion shook the surroundings, Many thought another 9/11 had occurred because of the force of the blast.
Approximately, at last count, over 60 people injured, and several unaccounted for or missing.
Simply terrifying. The perils of gas leaks and it's aftermath.
In the words of New York's newly-elected mayor, Bill de Blasio....
