absolutely insane, i work about 4 blocks from there.... midtown is insane right now.

The New York Times is reporting that nobody was killed and only one person injured. After watching that video, I find that a bid hard to believe, but hopefully they are right.

Wow...

Paul J. Browne, a police spokesman, said the explosion around 6 p.m. was “not terrorist-related.”
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is scheduled to give a televised briefing at 7:45 p.m. at 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue.

Its on ABC right now....Bloomberg's statement.
What a mess. ..no power outage though.

Wow that is insane!!! 1 person killed now, dozens injured

They're saying that thousands may not be allowed back to their homes for a while...

we were just told that there will be no effect on my office building in the morning and i'm about 5 blocks away.

That's good. I think the word I had heard was based on a concern for asbestos contamination.

Why does it seem all this stuff only happens to NYC?

Holla...

any danger in living on a farm... might be my next option...
