So when I looked and saw that, that’s when I started telling people to get out; something’s going to blow,” Arlene Baker said. And when the manholes did blow, at least two had cars sitting on top of them. Hernan Gonzalez came home to find his car burned to a crisp on the bottom with the bumper off, with the manhole still smoking underneath. [ link to newyork.cbslocal.com] |
