Like NY needs another building blowing up. This sucks. But for what its worth, I don't think it would be a terrorist attack. Not high profile enough. But it is in Manhattan, anyone know where?
Phone, i need a phone!!!
my brother works a block away, his coworkers saw the blast. They're talking about going home in case of chemicals in the air and any other fallout like asbestos.
I hope they do, that explosion was caused by volatile chemicals. Who knows what's in the air there now.
