I heard there was some hysteria for a few minutes until the source was confirmed...you have to admit....it did remind me of 9/11

The ironic thing about this was that I was watching the BBC World News from London, when they announced that there had been an explosion in Manhattan, and had a live picture of all the steam rising into the air.....I immediately turned to the New York stations, and found nothing but the usual "happy news" and playful banter (which is why I turn to the BBC for real news) and it was at least ten minutes until ABC Nitwitness News picked it up, to be followed by the others quite later. I had more information from the London station than the ones in New York.

Bronx 12 News is now reporting 1 death and 4 serious injuries as a result of the steam blast.

This is a terrible thing that happened. Once again they must watch out for asbestos.

I was watching Fox News, 26, with great coverage from the begining and then switched to ABC,7, it also had good coverage with interviews with workers who went down 17 flights right after the blast. They were still showing a pick-up truck in the remaining hole until 8:30 PM. The scary part was health officals telling people who were near by to get to a shower and scrub thier skin and destroy the clothes they had on, because of asbestos danger.
