Breaking: Explosion in Manhattan – building collapses

I can’t find a link to this story yet but the headline is up on the MSNBC homepage.

Update I: Just saw this at FoxNews.com:

NEW YORK — BREAKING NEWS: Fire and emergency crews responded to the scene of a suspected manhole explosion under a building in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday at the height of the evening rush hour, officials said. It is not terrorism-related, the officials said.

Smoke and steam was seen billowing above the east side of Manhattan, and several blocks were evacuated. There were unconfirmed reports that police were evacuating nearby crowded Grand Central Station.

The explosion occurred at 43st Street and Lexington Avenue.

MSNBC is reporting two injured.

Update II: WNBC has photos from the scene. Damn, if those don’t look hauntingly familiar.

Update III: MSNBC reports that one person was killed.
