1 dead, 26 injured so far.

The pictures are so reminiscent of 9/11. Yeesh.

Yeah. The video makes you say "Holy S..."

A radio talk show host I am forced to listen to for work was turning it into a War of the Worlds. It was an old steam pipe. Essentially a really big radiator blew a hole and idiots want to incite people by screaming terrorism.

It did screw up my plans tonight and my commute home though!

The "old steam pipe" is one of the newer ones in the city.
