About 20 minutes after hearing a muffled ‘boom’ while at work, subsequently looking at each other not knowing what it was we just heard, all the lights flickering at the studio and then stepping out for a coffee, this is what 27th St. looked like.
According to one of the firefighters, it was an electrical fire.
To me, it sounded more like a power generator blew up, then the fire followed.
Update: ConEd trucks are all over it now. So yep, must’ve been electrical…
