http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/manhhole-fires-in-midtown/An exploding manhole on West 40th Street in Midtown shot flames three stories high at 1:40 p.m. Monday, and at least one other manhole cover blew off, fire officials said. No injuries were immediately reported. After the explosion, a firefighter yelled: “It’s not Disneyland, people. Get the hell out of the way.”

Can you imagine how many transformers would blow if there were a sudden disruption to the electric, steam and other utilities in a given area in NYC?
I imagine we should figure out why so many explosives are stored under the streets of New York, since it is impossible, I tell ya, to have explosions in New York without explosives.
