The NYPD is claiming this is not an act of terror.
What say you?

I like to wait for facts instead of calling every fire or explosion an act of terrorism.

Exactly! That looked more like a faulty equipment leak/explosion to me.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he had a "gut feeling".

unico · 07-18-2007, 09:01 PM

no Mr. Chertoff...that's a reaction from the alli pills.

deep · 07-18-2007, 09:07 PM

Alli, the over-the-counter diet pill?

I heard he was using Hoodia.

unico · 07-18-2007, 09:13 PM

Nevermind found this via Google:

- In August 1989, three people died near Gramercy Park as a result of a steam explosion. She writes of the 1989 incident:

The cause of that explosion, like many others, was a phenomenon known as 'water hammer,' which results from the condensation of water inside a steam pipe. In this case, steam personnel had allowed water to accumulate in a pipe they had turned off for service; when the steam valve was reopened the 400-degree steam hit the relatively cool water, with explosive results.

i remember there were some problems with old pipes before.

Not all are skittish, Diamond. There's a gas pipe leaking on the James Ruse exit of the M4. Would I be an idiot for starting a thread with a handydandy buzzword like terror?

Why is this even a poll?

shart1780 · 07-18-2007, 10:48 PM

Youtube comments piss me off more than just about anything in the entire world. Good grief, it seems like the website somehow magnetically attracts idiots. This will sound silly, but when reading them I sometimes think to myself "man, I really didn't know there were this many losers in the world."

It's scary.
