I got into the office this morning and did my regular routine of checking the e-mail and opening several news sites, the news in the last few weeks have in fact been nothing short of eventful with terrorists in London, big football event in Asia, earthquake in Japan and so on and so forth. This morning one article caught my eye but for the wrong reasons, with a headline like “Transformer explosion rattles Manhattan” I couldn’t help but think some giant robot blew up in down town New York instead of some steam pipe burst causing an electrical malfunction.
The wordings in the article didn't help either, here' part of the news excrept:
"...causing a transformer to explode and sending thick plumes of steam and ash into the air near Grand Central Terminal"
""It felt like an earthquake. We saw hundreds and hundreds of people running down Third Avenue," she said. "They were screaming, they were crying.""
"...the blast left a crater "many dozens of feet wide," comparing it to the craters she saw after bombings during a stint in Iraq. She also said a "hissing noise" can be heard for blocks."
