2 Dead, 22 Hurt, Others Missing in Manhattan Explosion
Two people are dead, 22 are hurt and others are missing after two buildings collapsed following a gas leak explosion that rattled upper Manhattan and shattered windows with a blast that could be felt blocks away.
The two five-story buildings at the northwest corner of 116th Street and Park Avenue in Harlem collapsed at about 9:30 am.
Smoke billowed into Central Park and could be seen from miles away in midtown, and New Yorkers said they felt rumbles as far away as 150th Street. Closer to the collapse, groceries were knocked from store shelves and debris floated through the air.
The only indication of anything wrong before the explosion was a call to Con Edison from a nearby building, reporting a strong odor of gas just minutes before the blast. But it was too late.

This is a direct response to the protest against Acheinu Bnei Yisroel in Eretz Hakodesh. When Jews fight among themselves, the nations laugh, so Hashem distracts them with their own tragedies.
