Video: Manhole Explosion Caught On Tape!

How can this happen with the number of manhole inspectors in New York?

*snicker*

captivated duo? who writes like that? oh, right, Jen Carlson. So if the captivated duo caught the explosion, his footage should be their footage.

The reason some of the passersby barely paused is probably because, unlike Ms. Carlson, they are from NYC.

Dislike for Jen Carlson writing aside, cool video capture.

You're totally right. On behalf of the Gothamist community, I propose that we fire Jen and hire eyekantspel.

It is truly rare that we are blessed with the level of critical and literary genius that eyekantspel offers. It would be a shame -- nay, a crime against the future of humanity -- to allow Jen's drivel to remain when we could instead be blessed with this Einstein of blog prose, this giant of internet literature. If we do not hire him/her, who will fix our typos? What bright star will rise to correct our grammar? None but eyekantspel can fill that void.

We must hire eyekantspel now, or risk losing that greatness to other, lesser pursuits. Dear sir, how much can we pay you? Hopefully there is enough money in the world to convince you to replace this weak-worded newt Jen Carlson with your strong-tongued brilliance. I know that you could instead be curing cancer, or besting Chuck Norris in a best-of-three bare knuckles brawl. But please, sir, do consider our offer.

Otherwise, piss off.

I will consider your offer.

"cool video capture"

guys a fuckin' regular Bill Shakespeare over here.

But, seriously, that video sucked.

You sir, are a turd burglar.

I hate people just like you. At least Jen writes with some humor and personality. Do the world a favor and please go DIAF.

pity, I came to the internet hoping for Dead Himmler love.

Boring and anti-climatic.

That's what she said.

When the manhole cover blew into the air, I think I heard someone ask, "Heads or tails?"

These are better when the manhole cover is still on.

It is happening all over Brooklyn. Pipes are shifting.

This makes me think of my favorite Onion headline: Elusive Male Orgasm Caught on Video
