New York's East Village was turned into piles of blocks by a powerful explosion. It used to be a block filled with artists, college students and urban eclectics.
Investigators are checking whether a gas line was accessed incorrectly at the building where the explosion happened, and left more than 20 people injured. NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce also said that one additional person might be missing.
Officials provided a rough timeline about what appears to be a gas-related explosion, and the evidences showed that gas utility inspectors checking in the building's basement left the premises about 30 minutes before the blast went off at 3:17 p.m.
My Thoughts & Opinions
At this point, I have no idea whether this explosion is caused by gas utility inspectors' mistakes, or someone messed up the gas line without noticing. But what I need to say is that people need to be more careful and all the maintenance workers should really make sure that everything is well in the buildings that people live. Because one little mistake, might cause the loss hundreds people's lives.
