They're back! We just received this tip from a reader about a manhole explosion on Union Street near Smith Street in Brooklyn. Apparently the manhole exploded under a minivan! Abe Lincoln Jr. said, "The minivan belonged to the owner of the korean deli on the corner of smith and union. Pretty lucky as theres a street fair on Court Street Today. He was able to drive the van away but the back fender was pretty mangled. Stinks like burning car here."
There were reportedly no injuries, and the FDNY Press Office told us it was "just an ongoing scene. We're waiting for Con Ed." Manhole explosions usually happen as a result of a buildup of gas, and have been terrorizing the city with varying degrees of intensity.
