Steampipe explosion

The call came in as a priority: A massive explosion on 41st Street between Lexington and 3rd Aves. From the sound of the transmission, the first firemen on the scene just happen to be across the street at the time. I heard the urgency in the firemans voice and for a split second I thought of September 11th. He called it in as a possible transformer fire. It was definitely steam and not smoke.
