In case you missed it, a transformer blew up on Lexington Ave.:

This happened 10 blocks down the street from my office. One of my workers was on a bus 1/2 block away from the explosion and it was total panic.

Very scary stuff.

Now that I got a job, I can buy more Apple products!

So it was just another normal day in Gotham when...

There was a giant fucking explosion in midtown!

Apparently it was a steam pipe that exploded. So far 1 person is confirmed dead with 15 more injured.

Oh, and here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SImhkapRuIs

How was your commute home?

EDIT: Well, looks like I'm a bonehead and missed jcoley2's thread.

Lock away!

Jeez. Those guys in that video are just chillin'. I mean, clearly it's been going on for a while, given the presence of emergency responders. But, you know, bad things also happen as a result of the first bad event. I would have kept on moving.
