Unnatural disaster strikes Manhattan


i was disturbed to find out from Chris today that there was a major "steam blast" in Midtown (article and photo: NYTimes) that killed one and injured many. it happened around 6 PM yesterday at 41st and Lex, just a block from Grand Central Terminal.

i always feel affected anytime anything major happens in NY, but it feels even weirder to have something so big happen in an area i'd walk through everyday while commuting, and is just 7 blocks from where my old office is.

not a surprise that ConEd has screwed up again...

Yeah la!

He and I were meeting at that time to go to tennis. He suggested Grand Central or 34th / 8th. I picked the latter.

We could have dieeeeeedddddd!
