    Default Pipe explosion in NYC

    Hey all. I just want to wish all our NYC SWer's that they are ok after this pipe explosion that happened on 41st and lexington avenue. So far there are 17 injuries and 1 fatality.
    I worked at WETBAR on 39th and lex until last summer and all my coworkers are checking in "OK but terrrified".
    There was a similiar explosion last summer on our corner that makes me think whether this was something that was coming and could have been prevented...

    It's the creaky old infrastructure. What can you do?

    Bloomberg just did a dick ass move. I just heard that the business in the area MUST PAY to have places inspected for asbestos & have EPA check it out AND THEY HAVE TO PAY....

    Supposedly this can cost 5-100k to do, & if u need to clean it also forget it. So the city's pipe burst & the ppl have to pay.
