What’s up with NY & buildings exploding?
Part of a Manhattan commercial building collapsed Thursday following a possible boiler explosion, injuring more than three dozen people.
"It was a giant boom -- a real giant boom," said neighborhood resident Bill Beek, who lives a half-block away. "It sounded like an airplane crashing."
Several victims, at least one person believed in serious condition, were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital and the Cabrini Medical Center for treatment. Other victims, bloody and bandaged, sat on curbs waiting for transportation.
There was no immediate report of any fatalities. Windows were blown out along the block -- West 19th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues in the city's the Chelsea section.
