At Least Three Dead in Harlem Gas Explosion Building Collapse

At NYT, "At Least 3 Killed in Gas Blast on East Harlem Block; 2 Buildings Leveled," and "Blast ‘Ripped the Stomach Right Out of You’: Harlem Explosion Trapped Some and Spurred Others to Help, Witnesses Say."



Also at the Verge, "Explosion in Harlem: how does a gas leak turn a building into rubble?"

EXTRA: At Hot Air, "Charlie Rangel: The explosion today in Harlem is 'our community’s 9/11'":

To paraphrase about a thousand different people on Twitter who heard this and shuddered: If you’re an American, especially an American from New York, “your” 9/11 was 9/11.
