Utility explosions rock the city

At 2 o'clock this morning, my neighbors and I were startled by extremely loud explosions in East Harlem. I talked to a couple of firefighters on the scene, who said some carbon monoxide gas got backed up, some wires shorted, and a large explosion resulted.

Here's a bunch of pics of the aftermath. Thanks to manyhighways.com for taking all the pics prefixed "dscf."

An hour later, another explosion occurred. Apparently, today was a bad day for these kinds of incidents. In Brooklyn, a large explosion destroyed a car, split a manhole cover in two, and knocked residents off their feet.
