Steam Pipe Explosion in Midtown Manhattan

July 19th, 2007

An explosion by a steam pipe near Grand Central Station in New York has opened a 15-by-25 foot crater. One woman has been reported dead from the accident after suffering a heart attack when running from the explosion.

Tests also now confirm that the debris from the explosion did contain asbestos.

I generally don’t do any real news on here but I’m sick of the celebrity sluts today, plus this one was pretty intense.

I hope the poor woman who had a heart attack is the only one who has perished.
