LAST NIGHT'S BIG BOOM

Last night at 8:30, residents and merchants around Fort Hamilton Parkway and E. 2nd Street heard a really loud sound. Was it thunder? No. A bomb? No. It was the sound of a steam pipe exploding, followed by electrical cables catching fire and a manhole cover getting lifted and moved a few inches. Everything was repaired by 5:00 p.m. today.
