Injuries as buildings collapse after blast at New York's East Village
By Ray Sanchez, CNN

NYC mayor: 12 injured in East Village fire 01:11



New York (CNN)Inspectors from New York's gas utility were at a building in Manhattan's East Village on Thursday a little more than an hour before a fiery blast injured a dozen people, at least three critically, leveled the structure and a neighboring one, officials said.



The explosion appeared to be "gas-related," Mayor Bill de Blasio said, adding there were no reports of gas leaks beforehand.




The cause is under investigation.




Consolidated Edison inspectors were at the Second Avenue building "evaluating the meter installation for a new service ... to the building," utility President Craig Ivey told reporters. There was a second gas service in operation at the same building.




The installation of the new meter "did not pass our inspection at that time, so it meant it wasn't ready for gas to be introduced," Ivey said. Con Edison said in a statement that a survey Wednesday of gas mains on the block found no leaks.




Inspectors were at the building at 2 p.m. Thursday. The blast occurred at 3:17 p.m.




De Blasio said investigators were talking with the Con Edison employees who inspected the work of private contractors at the building. The name of the contractor was not provided.




"We are not going to speculate on details until we have a full report," the mayor said. "We have to put those pieces together."




The powerful explosion rocked a heavily traveled section the East Village in late afternoon, injuring some people with burns in their airways, scattering debris and forcing the closure of streets.




No one was believed to be trapped in the two collapsed buildings, officials said. At least two other neighboring buildings were damaged -- one in danger of collapse.




Images from the scene showed the first two floors of a five-story, red-brick building collapsed onto each other. That building and a neighboring one soon were leveled by the intense fire.




Luca Babini said he was in his office less than a block away at the time of the blast.




"Everything, my shelf in my office and my computer screen fell down," he said. "They say it was a gas leak."




Babini said a man immediately climbed a fire escape in an attempt to rescue people trapped in the collapsed building.




"I saw a lot of people lined up at the streets trying to help," he said.





Towering flames and plumes of black smoke at one point rose from the building where the fire started -- which includes both apartments and businesses. Emergency personnel could be seen taking the injured away on stretchers.




At least 250 firefighters responded.



The collapsed first floor housed a Japanese restaurant; the building next door, with a shop specializing in French fries on the street level, was ablaze and, in later images, appeared to have completely collapsed.




The explosion comes just over a year after two buildings in Harlem collapsed after a gas leak last March, killing eight people and injuring dozens. The buildings were served by a 127-year-old gas main.

Emergency personnel are on scene for a building collapse in the area of East 7th and 2nd Avenue (MN) which will cause local street closures.
12:48 PM - 26 Mar 2015


After the 2014 incident, experts warned that many U.S. utilities were struggling to maintain or replace antiquated, hard-to-reach and leaky gas mains in older urban areas. The most vulnerable mains are made of cast iron or steel.

A day before the Harlem explosion, the New York-based Center for an Urban Future said in a report that New York's aging infrastructure "could wreak havoc on the city's economy and quality of life." An estimated $47.3 billion would have to be devoted for repairs to maintain safety.

The average age of New York City's 6,300 miles of gas mains is 56 years old, wrote the report's author, Adam Forman.

I found something today that explains a whole lot, but you should see it before I cast opinion.

In Wikipedia, on Tesla's page, there is a place where his religious views are briefly discussed. One paragraph stood out to me (in bold):


Tesla was raised as an Orthodox Christian. Later in his life, he did not consider himself to be a "believer in the orthodox sense," and opposed religious fanaticism.[184] Despite this, he had a profound respect for both Buddhism and Christianity.[23][184]

In his article, "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy," published in 1900, Tesla stated:

For ages this idea [that each of us is only part of a whole] has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.[185]

However, his religious views remain uncertain due to other statements that he made.[186][187][188] For example, in his article, "A Machine to End War", published in 1937, Tesla stated:

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without. Owing to the similarity of our construction and the sameness of our environment, we respond in like manner to similar stimuli, and from the concordance of our reactions, understanding is born.

In the course of ages, mechanisms of infinite complexity are developed, but what we call "soul" or "spirit," is nothing more than the sum of the functionings of the body. When this functioning ceases, the "soul" or the "spirit" ceases likewise.[184]


We have it here that at least at the time of the comment quoted above, Tesla did not believe in the eternal soul.


However, there is a power play going on behind the scenes, it started last year (apparently) and although I've been thinking of Tesla's ashes for a few years now (if you saw NN blog), was totally unaware that his remains might be moved (as of last March-July).

Nikola Tesla's ashes spark row between Serbian scientists and Orthodox church
Officials face backlash after decision to move inventor's remains from Tesla museum in Belgrade and rebury them in church

A furious dispute has erupted between Serbian scientists and the Orthodox church after it was announced that the remains of the inventor Nikola Tesla will be reburied in a church.

A pioneer in fields such as electricity, radio and x-rays, Tesla had 300 patents under his name by the time he died in 1943 and is revered by some as one of the most important scientific brains of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Tesla died in the US where he had spent much of his life, but in 1957 his ashes were moved to the Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, now the Serbian capital.

Under pressure from the Serbian Orthodox church, government officials announced last week that they are planning to move Tesla's remains from the museum to the city's St Sava church – the largest Orthodox church in the world – where it is to be reburied alongside national heroes including the 14th-century Prince Lazar, who led a Christian army against the invading Ottomans.

Scientists in Serbia have criticised the move, due to be carried out this July, arguing that Tesla was not religious and should be upheld as a "figurehead for science" rather than religion. The Tesla museum has also called for the remains to stay put, highlighting that it is the wish of his descendants, who asked for the urn to be transported to the then Yugoslavian capital in the 50s.

"We stay firm with the opinion it is much better to have the urn in the museum," said the museum's director, Vladimir Jelenkovic. "This is the right place to keep it, knowing the open-minded soul Tesla had. After all it was the wish of his successors to keep the urn in the museum. We are obliged to accept their wishes."

A Facebook campaign, Leave Tesla Alone, started almost immediately after the announcement was made and has already gathered more than 30,000 supporters on social media who want to see Tesla's ashes stay where they are.

Church leaders, however, say that the museum is not an appropriate resting place for Tesla. Patriarch Irinej of the Serbian Orthodox church told local media: "It is natural that such the name of Serbian history rests in peace at holiest place of Serbian history."

Tesla is best known for his work on alternating current and his ideas were used in the development of radio communications, the electric motor and radar.

Born in Smiljan – which is now in Croatia – in 1856, he went to university in Graz, Austria, and began working for the inventor Thomas Edison in 1884. The pair fell out, however, and each battled for years to convince the world that his way of generating electricity was better and more efficient than the other's.


_______________________




Personally, although I agree that science is great, blahblah, I never liked the way his ashes were stored, and also when I found out they were in a museum I wondered, why. It doesn't seem like the best resting place, but since people are arguing over it, what does PA think?

George Washington and William Shakespeare both alluded to bad luck following people who did not comply with their personal wishes regarding burial..

However in the case of someone as eccentric and special as Tesla, it could be said that his short-sightedness cost him some rest --

Do you feel that a museum is a proper resting place for anyone?
I've never liked seeing mummies, bones, or any other human remains (or animals I guess) in museums, and as a child did have one very strange experience after touching some dried bones --

so yes, you could say I have perhaps a more Jungian view than Tesla-esque, when it comes to ghosts and hauntings and life after death.


Tesla and I would have argued.
He would have demanded "proof" of ghosts etc. and the irony is,
none of what I learned/felt about Tesla's time happened to me until 100 years after the fact... :rockon:

p.s. another possible reason to "let him out":

http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/van-allen-probes-spot-impenetrable-barrier-in-space/#.VQci2fnF9wU


Enter the newly discovered barrier. The Van Allen Probes data show that the inner edge of the outer belt is, in fact, highly pronounced. For the fastest, highest-energy electrons, this edge is a sharp boundary that, under normal circumstances, the electrons simply cannot penetrate.


"When you look at really energetic electrons, they can only come to within a certain distance from Earth," said Shri Kanekal, the deputy mission scientist for the Van Allen Probes at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and a co-author on the Nature paper. "This is completely new. We certainly didn't expect that."

High energy particles

http://www.truthaboutangelsanddemons.com/the-god-particle/articles/the-god-particle.html


Particle physicists do this by accelerating particles such as protons to nearly the speed of light. The high speed implies high energy. But the higher the energy, the larger must be the equipment used to impart the energy and to hold the accelerated particles.




A trap for angels :(


creepy:


Above: Hotel New Yorkers in Manhattan is one of the biggest and most beautiful hotels in the world. Located at the intersection of 34th Street and 8th Avenue. Built in 1930.

Tesla died on January 7th, 1943 in the Hotel New Yorker, where he had lived for the last ten years of his life (1933 -1943). Room 3327 on the 33rd floor is the two-room suites he occupied.

SPR General Information




Dear R_________,

The SPR does not have corporate views so I can't say what the SPR thinks
about it. From a personal viewpoint I think the ashes should stay where
they are given that the family specified the final resting place. There
is a commercial aspect to drawing people in to the church, and I am sure
the church leaders are aware of this. The act also positions them as
guardians of Serbain culture. You could argue that the Croatians have as
much right to take charge of the ashes as the Serbian church.

I'm not sure that there is any connection with Edison's work on a
paranormal telephone. On that, there is a new book out in French by
Philippe Baudouin, Le Royaume de l'au-dela. It hasn't had any coverage
yet in English, but if you google it there are a lot of articles in
French.

I don't usually hear back from people unless it's highly controversial.

instances where I have heard back:
in regards to Vanuatu risks and Seattle risks, the USGS wrote back once lol. they laughed at psychics (officially) and i laughed too.
this week not so much.

once i heard back from Blizzard Entertainment, prior to the Breivik incident which cost them some positive press I am sure.
they said their games were not to blame for the deficiencies of their users.





i am amazed by the paid skeptics of our world, like my namesake lol


p.s. mr TR did not answer my question about 8 years tesla's ashes were in new york. nor did he directly acknowledge that the god damned necromancer known as thomas edison might have fiddled about with the urn during that time :(

oh well, time will tell if dead men tell no tales or not

An explosion ripped through a building in the East Village of Manhattan on Thursday, reducing two structures to rubble as firefighters scrambled to contain a 7-alarm inferno through the afternoon.

A total of 19 people were injured in the explosion, which occurred in the basement at 121 Second Ave. near St. Mark’s Place at about 3:20 p.m. Fire quickly engulfed that building and spread to an adjacent structure. Victims could be seen running from the chaotic scene -- some of them screaming with severe burns -- as more than 250 firefighters responded to battle the blaze.

An FDNY spokesperson told The Huffington Post that four people were in critical condition at area hospitals, and a total of four buildings were affected. At a press conference, fire officials said two of the critically injured victims suffered burns to their airways.


Kim Solem · Top Commenter · Metro State College
Mechanical engineer in the house. I can tell you exactly what happened here. This was a pressure boiler related explosion. Just like the one a year ago in New York, and the one in Minneapolis.

All boilers are supposed to be operated by licensed operators only. But because of the trend in deregulation, and funding cuts in inspection and enforcement, the rules are often circumvented. What happens is you have several unqualified individuals maintaining the system. Not only don't they know what they're doing, but they don't have the expertise in trouble shooting for needed maintenance.

My suspicion this explosion, like other's in the recent past, was not do to over pressurization, rather, it was gas related. Heating systems like this are nearly always gas fueled. Either, some fool was messing with the gas feeds, the firing system, or just didn't detect a leak, during routine checks, and 'KABOOM.'

Sadly in America, the wealth of a few is more important than the welfare of the many

Con Edison is working with fire officials and other agencies at the scene of today’s explosion and building collapse on 2nd Avenue near 7th Street in the East Village neighborhood in Manhattan. Earlier today, Con Edison personnel were at the location to evaluate work the building plumber was doing inside 121 2nd Ave. in connection with a gas service upgrade. The work failed our inspection for several reasons, including insufficient spacing for the installation of the meter in the basement.

We had no reports of gas odors in the area prior to the fire and explosion. A survey conducted yesterday of the gas mains on the block found no leaks. We continue to work with all agencies on the investigation into the cause, and we are praying for the recovery of all the injured.
