Fortunately there were no serious injuries.

The explosion did leave a few local ninjas a bit shell-shocked though.

Firefighters responding to the scene found elevated carbon monoxide levels at a building on West 229th Street and worked to ease the situation in the cellar and subcellar before turning the scene over to utility crews.

This sentence is from the original NBC report, but CO levels in a building on 229th Street would be unrelated to manhole cover explosions in Times Square, 10 miles away. Maybe they mean 229 West 43rd Street?
