Something just happened here. Smoke is coming out of a building not far from Grand Central.
I stopped working because of the sirens.

18:43 CNN reports:

"A transformer exploded Wednesday afternoon near Manhattan's Grand Central train station, possibly a result of steam underground, New York Police Department told CNN.

Video from the scene shows what appears to be steam billowing from underground and a small school bus with its windows and a door blown out.

The New York Fire Department said it received a call reporting an explosion at 5:56 p.m. More than 170 firefighters have been dispatched to the site at Lexington Avenue near 41st Street.

No injuries were reported, according to New York Office of Emergency Management."

No terrorism. So I had according to my schedule iced tea with Selina Bendock, the friend of my fiancée Elayne who passed away in 2005.
