Underground Blast Steam Pipe Explosion Video - Tears Hole In Manhattan

The blast caused brief panic about another terror attack, with a scene eerily reminiscent of Sept. 11: people frantically rushing away from a Manhattan explosion amid falling debris and blaring sirens. But officials quickly ruled out terrorism and said the blast was caused by a ruptured 83-year-old steam pipe.
