NEW YORK (Reuters) - An explosion was reported at the News Corp building in midtown Manhattan on Monday, a New York Fire Department spokeswoman said.

Employees were evacuated from floors 42 to 45, she said.

Breaking News Network, which monitors emergency services activity, reported one person had been injured by a chemical used in a cooling station.

Does anyone know what floors Fox News are located on? And how close Shep was to the explosion? (He’s probably in a tizzy right now.)

Phosphoric acid is commonly used to demineralize evaporative coolers and humidifiers.

Oxygen and chlorine based bleaches are often used to disinfect systems.

I’m guessing inadequate rinse and purge between cleaning and disinfecting.

The poor guy was probably freezing his butt off and decided to rush it a bit.
