It's a miracle no one was killed. I hope everyone recovers quickly.
It's scary because so much of the underground pipes are so very old, I guess if even if you turn off the gas to a house/building, it could still be seeping out under street level and ignite.
Prayers to the firefighters, too!

I have a good friend from college who lives at St Marks Place and I hope I hear back from her by email soon.
I read on Huff Po that it was probably a boiler explosion such as the one last year that killed 8 people (? a lot of people) in Harlem a year ago.

Apparently the smoke was evident even in midtown, my brother smells it near Grand Central yet my DH did not smell it down near city hall

My son e mailed me and said that 2 Avenues over (where he works as a grad student in an NYU science lab), they could smell the smoke all day yesterday. I was at the Macy's Flower Show yesterday which is further uptown and I couldn't smell any smoke when I went outdoors.
