In fact, when that headshrinker got me committed, I blew the building up!

I'm getting reports from friends and family of a bomb scare in the Macy's on 34th street. People running in the streets and heavy police activity.
No reports yet on the MSM. Let's hope it's not real this time.
I just went past it on the bus about a half hour ago and nothing was happening then.

True, it's lunchtime. so I'm not working... but after 9/11 it doesn't take much to rattle me. I will never completely get over that.
no updates yet. Just people getting as far as possible from the building.
A friend of mine lives across the street and her building is being evacuated.

Wasn't that a trademark of the IRA? They would call a few minutes in advance of the explosion so they could then say "not our fault anyone was killed -- we gave advance warning."
Advance notice is not the practice by the "Religion of Peace" followers, however.

Underground electrical cables on fire, maybe?

Who has those scanner links for the fire department?
In 1993 our first thought about the Trade Center explosion (a buddy and mine - we were there) was that road salt had seeped down to a PATH train transformer. It wasn't until hours later that we knew the truth.
Gimbels? Man, where you been?
