A reported steam pipe explosion in Midtown sent plumes of smoke into the sky this evening and caused the evacuation of buildings in the area, but officials say it is not terrorist related.
The fire department is saying that the source of the smoke is a large steam pipe explosion underground at 370 Lexington Avenue. Sources say the area between 41st Street and 47th Street and between Third and Lexington Avenues has been closed off.
Officials say the attack is not terrorist related.
The five-alarm fire is causing Number 4, 5, and 6 trains to bypass Grand Central Station. The Associated Press is reporting that thousands of commuters were evacuating the train terminal.
