A massive manhole explosion rocked the East Village Sunday afternoon, sending New Yorkers running, according to eyewitnesses.
After locals reported hearing an explosion, large black plumes of smoke could be observed wafting out of a manhole near 14th Street and 3rd Avenue, right outside of Trader Joe’s, at around 4 p.m. on April 2.
“They probably thought there was an attack or someone was shooting because it was by Union Square,” she said. Con Edison officials arrived on scene about 30 minutes after the explosion, at which time firefighters began hosing down the smog. However, this resulted in a series of flames shooting upward.
