Joe Biggs here with Infowars.com with some breaking news out of CBS New York. | |
Now, emergency responders are on the scene of an explosion and collapse at a building in Manhattan's East Village. | |
The explosion and collapse were reported at around 3.30 or so at 7th Street and 2nd Avenue Thursday afternoon. | |
Now, multiple injuries have been reported. | |
The fire department said two people were rushed to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. | |
The collapse occurred at 125 2nd Avenue, which is a residential and commercial building. | |
Fire could be seen tearing through at least... | |
Two buildings at the location. | |
Video from the scene showed a huge column of flames shooting up 20 or more feet through the top of a building. | |
Now, you know, a lot of these things have been happening lately with gas, so who knows if that happened. | |
The fire department believes that it could be the cause of a gas explosion, but they're still looking into it. | |
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton are on their way to the scene as of right now, and according to the Department of Building records, there was a stop work order on the building. | |
So this is a developing story going on right now. |
