anyone hear the big explosion two seconds ago? I think some manhole cover blew up into a car parked above it. Shattered a storefront window too.

I work 2 blocks away. I take the the train home there. I hope they don't close off the streets.

It happened on 17th between 5th and broadway. I'm at work right now and that rode is still closed off. I don't think anything is going to become of this. The car was smoking pretty badly and I thought it was going to blow up.

manhole covers aren't supposed to do that are they?

I woke up to the smell of burning a few weeks ago. Nothing in my apt. Then I noticed smoke outside. The damn pickup accross teh street was fully engulfed in flames!
The fire dept. showed up 30 secs later and then it took em at least 20 min. to put it out. Crazy. wish I had my wits about me I wouldve snapped a photo.

Actually manhole covers do that sometimes. Happened twice in the last year around my neighborhood, underground explosions, manholes fly up.
