Transformer explodes near Grand Central Station in New York, fire department officials say.

it was not me, i am at the emergency room with the camel.

he has eaten a remote control.

Which numbskull will be the first to shout 'terrorists!' ?

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.

Amazing :) :warning

see infidels i told you. no jihad on wednesdays.

i am hoping now that nick is going to be ok.

the doctors are taking forever.

What was the remote control for, detonation ?

Just a note.....

Wait.....You're telling me something can explode and it's not an act of terrorism? This must be communist propoganda or something.

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

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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.

It is news when Fox gets something right.

It's since been reported that one Juicy D. Links farted from his manhole causing all the drama on GFY.

Anyone else think of goatse.cx when there's talk about manhole?

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.

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

What, you've never heard of those Camel, remote detonated IED's??

it was a steam pipe , knocked out 4 subway rails out of commision....

I saw the hellicopter view it was crazy

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% of the time).
