Three exploding manholes sent crowds running in Times Square

I was once working on the 3rd floor of 600 3rd, and the steam pipe running into the building blew up on a side street. 20’ crater, 100’ geyser of dry steam, mud, asphalt and bits of pipes and wires flying everywhere – it blew out three windows, and got our entire office sent home for a week until the damage could be repaired.
