Okay, exploding manhole covers, not the usual thing but not wildly unusual either, especially when it starts to warm up AND we just had major rain. Best line of the article, tho:
After the explosion, a firefighter yelled: “It’s not Disneyland, people. Get the hell out of the way.”
Amen.
Seriously. Are we going to have to have a refresher course on How To Behave in Emergencies, people? Are we going to have to start checking survival IQs at the door? Because there WILL be a fee imposed if you fail.
(this goes with the Tweeted joke that clearly the car bomb had been set in Times Square in order to kill as few New Yorkers as possible...especially since this happened near Port Authority. duck season! wabbit season! tourist season!)
