NEW YORK (AP) -- Fire and emergency crews responded to the scene of a suspected steam explosion near Grand Central Station in Manhattan on Wednesday during the evening rush hour, officials said.
The New York Police Department said a steam pipe exploded, and had no immediate detail on possible injuries. The NYPD said it does not appear to be terrorism-related.
A large column of gray smoke poured from the vicinity of a building near Grand Central Terminal and the Chrysler Building, and the air near the site was filled with ash.
Thousands of commuters evacuated the train terminal, some at a run, after workers yelled for people to get out of the building.
Witnesses reported that their buildings shook.
The MTA says due to this police investigation, 4, 5 and 6 trains are bypassing Grand Central-42nd Street Station in both directions at this time. Also, there is no S train service the entire line.
Please expect delays in service on the 4, 5, and 6 trains at this time.
Also, due to a water condition as a result of this morning's thunderstorm, E, F, R and V service have resumed, with residual delays.
