www.break.com/index/new-york-pipe-bursts.htmlmy office is on the left where the first NYC banner is. it was COMPLETE chaos. scariest feeling i have ever had (since 9/11). i was at my desk and i heard this loud rumble and my building shook violently (when the ground imploded) and we saw smoke from our windows. i thought the Chrysler building was collapsing. such a scary moment. ran out of my office in about 5 seconds and down to the FDR (east side river)

Glad to see you are ok. I bet that was VERY scary for you and everyone around! I had not been able to watch the news, so thanks for putting up that link. Amazing how fast all that smoke came up and the devastation it caused.

Damn Steve-o! Glad your ok! My daughter and her husband are leaving for NYC to visit my nephew who lives there. Kinda Scary! I was walking through the city here in Cleveland once, when a sewer cover a few feet from me blew about 50 feet into there! Scared the hell outta me! I hit the ground real fast! Then changed my drawers  |

That was a scary thing. 25 injuries and 1 death (from a heart attack on the scene).
People were warned about the possibility of asbestos contamination and were advised to wash the clothes they were wearing separately from other laundry or dispose of them if possible.
Grand Central was evacuated and no subway service in that area. What a mess. Hope the injured recover and sympathy to the family of the dead woman.
