KJT13 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Anyone see the steampipe explosion in Manhattan yesterday? The geyser was witnessed to be 27 stories high. A tow truck driver and his truck fell into the crater left by the 83yr old pipe. An old woman was near by and suffered a heart attack and died. All and all there were about 35 injuries and 1 death. The tow truck driver has burns on over 80% of his body and is in a medically induced coma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankg42 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I work just a few blocks south of where this happened. I was lucky enough to already be out of the city when it occurred. It does bring back sad memories of the city on 9/11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
