At first I thought it was thunder, but it just kept going for like over 20 minutes it seemed, and it was very very loud.<BR/><BR/>Very scary, the NYPD says it was not terrorism. They say it was a steam explosion. Smoke and steam went up over the 45th floor. There was no black smoke like a fire though. People were running down Lexington. It was pretty scary, I was positive while in the area that it was terrorism.<BR/><BR/>It happened right around the corner from one of the biggest creators of traffic congestion in NYC.<BR/><BR/>Will Mayor Bloomberg do anything about Park Ave. being blocked off at 42nd street?<BR/><BR/>I think Mayor Nanny Bloomie is a very arrogant man. I also highly doubt he rides the subway that much. He's the mayor, I want someone driving him around so he can work and make calls and stuff. New Yorkers shouldn't want him wasting all that time on the subway.<BR/><BR/>We all have to wonder what Bloomberg is really thinking of with this congestion pricing tax scheme. Maybe he mostly just wants a new tax. Just wrap it up in ‘concern for the environment’, and then people can just demonize those who oppose it.<BR/><BR/>If he cares so much about traffic jams, congestion and air pollution, why does he let Park Avenue be blocked off? Why doesn’t he do anything about that?<BR/><BR/>It's true, Pershing Square Restaurant blocks Park Avenue going South at 42nd St. for about 12 hours a day/5 months of the year! This Causes Massive Congestion and Air Pollution!<BR/><BR/>But apparently it does not bother NYC’s Nanny-in-Chief Mike “Congestion Pricing Tax” Bloomberg?<BR/><BR/>It certainly supports his claim that the city is hugely congested.<BR/><BR/>Check out the map!
