As of yet, there is no explanation for the explosion and TDW will not speculate until further evidence is brought forward. Our hearts go out to anyone harmed in the explosion and hope that this was merely an unfortunate accident. Sadists may view a live stream of the fire here.
Update (11:30): According to The New York Times, one person has been reportedly killed by the blast and there are further fatalities expected.
Update (10:55): The NYPD bomb squad is currently investigating the scene. One of the buildings is reportedly "completely gone."
