Park Avenue?

Its way the heck north out of civilization, sounds like a poorly maintained building collapsed.

Ah, it said something about a grocery store a minute ago

They said Park Avenue and 115th now

Anything above 96th street on Park Avenue is officially the hinterlands.

Trust me, this was no terrorist attack. Most likely it was a gas explosion. I just hope that no one was injured severely or killed.

I like how on the interwebz when its a live news alert they make you sit through a damn video ad to see the breaking news.

Shits blowing up and I gotta see an ad about toilet paper or febreeze?

Man, that looks quite serious. Best of luck out there to the firemen and police. I hope they can prevent it from spreading too seriously.

Like Adam said, definitely not a terrorist attack in that neighborhood.

Is that "flyover" NYC country? Where all the unenlightened live?

One on our distributors is really close...I could hear all the commotion when we were talking on the phone. He said it spooked the hell out of everyone in the office.

It's just poor minorities.

Nope, just a lot of brown folks, which is why it couldn't possibly be terrorist-related.

It's like my mom always says when she travels to iffy spots and I warn her about being kidnapped: "Who, me? No, son, they'll go for the white people. I'll be just fine."

Now, if this had happened in the Financial District, or, hell, even just a few blocks south of 96th Street, then folks would be truly bugging out.

The last I saw was at least one confirmed dead. I'm sure there will be more, unfortunately.

It's up to two now, though it's hard to believe that there weren't more folks in the building at the time of the explosion. Honestly, given how completely it was destroyed, I don't see how anyone could've survived.

The worst part is that it's being said that people in the building had been complaining about smelling gas for at least a week before today. If this is true, then someone really dropped the ball here.

Terrible. Amazing how this could even happen. Especially if people had been compalining way ahead of time.

The only way it could be terrorist related is if someone was trying to make an IED.
