Question: Major Explosion in Manhattan
Telephone call with client | 7/18/2007 | RinaseaofD's

Posted on 07/18/2007 3:01:43 PM PDT by RinaseaofDs

I just hung up with a client located on the E40's in Manhattan. Tons of sirens to the point where he felt compelled to check on what was up.

He came back to the phone and said there had just been a massive explosion near their building, and that they were evacuating.

Any NYC Freepers have any information on this? Happened at 6 PM EDT or there abouts.

Live on the upper east side. Lot’s of sirens and Fed’s in black cars are streaming downtown.

If you have to go check whether there has been a massive explosion, how massive can it be?

Geez. If that’s the case, yeah, DEFINITELY close your windows and doors. PCBs are NOT your friends.

Either really small or stupidly large.

A small one would be humorous, a large one not so much.

It’s happening at 41st Street between Third and Lexington Avenues.

We are told the fire department is requesting that 41st through 47th streets to be closed off between Lexington and Third.

Officials say that buildings in the area are being evacuated, though subway service is not affected.
