    The conspiracy squad will be all over this one. Even though it was in Harlem. Hopefully no one was hurt bad. I know they reported at least a dozen people injured.

    News is saying that a fire started in a Piano store on the ground level. Doesn't appear to be a very large building.

    It was an apartment building the exploded.

    One of my clients was walking on 7th Ave---up near the London, and he said he heard and thought it was just a few blocks away.

    CBS is saying a gas leak is the cause.
