      CNN's reporting a transformer exploded by Grand Central Station.

      MSNBC reporting an entire building has collapsed.

      FoxNews is reporting a manhole exploded.

      Several reporting Grand Central Station is being evacuated.

            BREAKING NEWS: Fire and emergency crews responded to the scene of a suspected manhole explosion under a building in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday at the height of the evening rush hour, officials said. It is not terrorism-related, the officials said.

            Smoke and steam was seen billowing above the east side of Manhattan, and several blocks were evacuated. There were unconfirmed reports that police were evacuating nearby crowded Grand Central Station.

            The explosion occurred at 43st Street and Lexington Avenue.

              I'm sure everyone has insinuated it already.

              What a great state we live in. One of fear.

                I've heard steam and the transformer thing on numerous stations. Doesn't seem like anyone is hurt. I'm sure Bush lost his erection.

                                Are you implying that transformers are never kept in manholes or that there are no manholes by Grand Central Station?

                                  Im implying that a manhole cover was blown off when a steam pipe burst. Im implying that Fox news was the only one out of the 3 that reported it correctly.

                                    CNN wasn't wrong either:

                                    A transformer exploded Wednesday afternoon near Manhattan's Grand Central train station, possibly a result of steam underground, New York Police Department told CNN.
                                    Only MSNBC fucked the goat on this one when they initially reported it was a building that exploded.

                                            Hence the reason I typically watch Fox before any of the other's they all piss me off with the major panic about everything.

                                              NEW YORK (CNN) -- A steam pipe burst in midtown Manhattan Wednesday, causing a transformer to explode and sending thick plumes of steam and ash into the air near Grand Central Terminal, New York officials said.
                                              art.transformer.wabc.jpg

                                              A transformer exploded in Manhattan during rush hour Wednesday.

                                              Hundreds of people fled as dozens of police, fire and utility workers arrived. The blast left a huge crater, witnesses said.

                                              New York Presbyterian hospital said it had received three people with injuries related to the explosion. Two of those patients were critically injured.

                                              Video from the scene showed steam and mud spewing from underground and a small school bus with its windows and a door blown out.

                                              Jim Margolin in the FBI's New York office said there is no indication there is anything "suspicious" about the explosion, though the FBI is still collecting information from city agencies and officials.

                                              "A steam explosion on East 41 Street from Third and Lexington Avenue is not terrorist-related," said New York Police Department Deputy

                                                FoxNews is reporting a manhole exploded.

                                                Several reporting Grand Central Station is being evacuated.

                                                                I think Fox does the breaking news stuff better than most other stations. There reporters on scene are more aggressive. It's just when they get political that they turn to shit (which is 99&#37; of the time).
