New York City's East Harlem neighborhood shaken by an intense explosion, Wednesday morning. The blast shocking residents and reducing these two buildings to piles of rubble. It was so powerful, that you heard the boom and then it rocked the whole apartment. The ceiling tiles started to fall down the, the all the back wall was lined with mirrors, the mirrors started to shatter and fall down. It's believed the explosion which could be felt for blocks was sparked by a gas leak, a massive five alarm fire ensued, filling the area with thick black smoke. Hundreds of first responders rushed to the scene. Dozens were injured, some are still missing, at least six people are confirmed dead. Among the dead are Krisle De Kamacho, a public safety officer at Hunter College and 67 year old Carmen Tanko. She lived on the second floor of one of the now leveled buildings, for more than two decades. Before learning of her aunt's death, Mariasela Frias told her us she was frantically calling her. You are very close to your, to your aunt? I am, yes. Tell me about here. She's sassy, feisty, very loving, very giving, very family oriented, very connected. It's all about being together. Life is too short. Time is too short. It's about love, family, tomorrow is not promised. As this community grieves, authorities are now investigating why this happened. New York City utility company Con Edison, received a call from a nearby resident about the smell of gas at 9: 13 a. m. They dispatched a crew but the explosion happened before they arrived. This is a tragedy of the worst kind because there was no indication in time to save people. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Manhattan Building Explosion Aftermath","description":"The death toll climbs to 7 as athorities try to discover the cause of the explosion and the find missing people.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ScXYN6kW/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-13T13:46:52.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ScXYN6kW.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/ScXYN6kW/","duration":"PT1M45S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/ScXYN6kW/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
