[RAW FOOTAGE]: Harlem Explosion Causes Collapse Of Two Buildings, Multiple Deaths Reported
An apparent gas explosion has levelled two buildings and sparked a fire in New York City, killing at least three people and injuring more than 50 others. Two five-storey buildings were reduced to rubble in the blast near Park Avenue and 116th Street in East Harlem. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said more than a dozen people were missing, and that a search effort would begin after firefighters put out the blaze. The mayor emphasised that some of those considered missing could be in another location and authorities are attempting to make contact with all concerned. "This will take quite a bit of time to address," he said. New York's Hunter College identified one of the victims as Griselde Camacho, a security officer who had worked for the college since 2008. Carmen Tanco, 67, a dental hygienist, was also killed in the blast. The identity of the third victim, thought to be a woman in her 40s, has not been confirmed. The fire department said two others suffered life-threatening injuries, while five more suffered serious injuries. The remaining injuries have been classified as minor. Witnesses reported hearing a large explosion around 9.30am, after a local resident reported smelling natural gas. A spokesman for Con Edison said the utility company dispatched two crews, but the blast occurred before they arrived. The utility said the person who reported the gas smell said he thought the odour could be coming from outside. Mr de Blasio said crews from Con Edison and other utilities were working to shut down services to the area. Aerial footage showed a large plume of smoke billowing over the Upper Manhattan skyline and debris scattered across the pavement and vehicles parked on adjacent streets. Waldemar Infante, who was working in the basement of the neighbouring building when the explosion took place, said it felt like an earthquake. "There were glass shards everywhere on the ground and all the stores had their windows blown out," he said. 3 dead, 63 hurt as NY buildings collapse Harlem Explosion Causes Collapse Of Two Buildings, Multiple Deaths Reported Two killed, 22 injured in New York building explosion BREAKING NEWS...NYC building explodes, 11 minor injuries reported Gas blast destroys 2 NY buildings; 3 people dead East Harlem Building Blast Causes At Least Three Deaths, Dozens of Injuries 3 dead, 63 hurt as NY buildings collapse Three Dead, 63 Hurt as NY Buildings Collapse Metro-North Restores All Service; Expect Delays [Updated] Explosion Kills 2; Suspends Metro-North Service [Updated] New York building explodes, collapses 4 Dead, 74 Hurt, Others Missing in Explosion, Collapse Caused by Gas Leak 3 Now Dead in NYC Explosion, 9 Missing Death toll of New York building collapse rises to 3 Explosion kills 2, injures 18 in US Metro-North riders handle delays, diversions after blast 3 people killed as blast topples 2 NYC buildings Three Killed In Massive Explosion In New York City NYC buildings explosion kills 3, others missing Two dead, 22 hurt as NY buildings collapse Two NY City buildings collapse in explosion Two killed, 22 injured in New York building explosion Gas blast destroys N.Y. buildings, killing three NYC buildings explosion kills three, others missing America's Gas Infrastructure Is Getting Dangerously Old East Harlem Fire, Harlem Building Explosion, East Harlem, East Harlem Explosion, Harlem Building Collapse, Harlem Fire, Fdny Harlem, Video, Ny News, Bad News, Harlem Explosion, Fdny, Politics News Harlem, Christianity, Spanish Christian Church, Harlem Explosion, Spanish Christian Church Fatalities, Harlem Natural Gas Explosion, East Harlem Explosion, Harlem Building Collapse, New York, New York City, Spanish Christian Church Destroyed, Spanish Christian Church Explosion, Religion News Mayor Bill De Blasio, Bill De Blasio Harlem Explosion, De Blasio Harlem Explosion, Mayor De Blasio, Harlem Explosion, East Harlem Explosion, Harlem Building Collapse, De Blasio Harlem, Crime News New York city department of building,New York city,East Harlem apartment Explosion,East Harlem Fire,Harlem Building Explosion,East Harlem,East Harlem Explosion,Harlem Building Collapse,Harlem Fire,Fdny Harlem,NY News,News,Harlem Explosion,Fdny,Crime News,Harlem Natural Gas Explosion,Bill De Blasio Harlem Explosion,De Blasio Harlem,NYC building explodes,Blast in East Harlem Building,New York Gas Explosion,Gas Explosion Hits East Harlem,
