Yep. NYU owns most of that part of town. My daughter worked for NYU at a building a block away (Bdwy) from this fire/collapse.

“Onlookers watch scene of fire, explosion in East Village, New York”

Not quite like “the accident” but similar. And if anyone knows what I’m talking about and can tell me where I can find that story, I’d appreciate it.
