Why is it every place I go to school at has some major building collapse near it?

Seriously.

And suicides, too.

Well, I must say, this is one ultimate way of offing yourself.

As it was, the trains that run by this mess were all screwed up for some other reason. I got fed up with the transit nightmare trying to get to class this morning, so I said "fuck it" and went home. Good thing, too, or else I would have been right there when the thing went up.

At least this suicide didn't include planes or religious statements.

New York building collapses, burns
Five injured; gas explosion appears to be cause

NEW YORK (CNN) -- An explosion and fire leveled a residential building on New York's Upper East Side Monday morning, fire officials and eyewitnesses told CNN.

New York Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta told CNN the cause appeared to be a gas explosion.

Two people were transported to the hospital and two others treated on the scene, according to New York Fire Dept. spokeswoman Emily Rahimi.

Eyewitness Theodore Milonas told CNN that three women emerged from the building after it exploded and they were covered in blood.

Ann McGovern, a neighbor across the street from the three-story E. 62nd Street location, told CNN she "witnessed two bloody people exiting the building just minutes after the explosion."

The building was between taller structures on 62nd Street between Park and Madison avenues just a few blocks from Central Park.

Smoke from the fire could be seen across Midtown and Manhattan's Upper East Side. As it cleared, firefighters moved in to assess the damage and look for victims.

Scoppetta said the building included doctors' offices, but was primarily residential.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said there is no suspicion of terrorism in the explosion.

The New York Fire Department received a call reporting the explosion at 8:40 a.m., department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi said.

CNN's Larry King was in a hotel nearby at the time of the explosion. He said it felt like an earthquake.

"I've never heard a sound like that," King said.

CNN's Katy Byron and Cheryl Bronson contributed to this report.

the Fire Commissioner just started telling those at the scene that the suicide theory is true. Man, a lot of pissed off people when that was announced.

Pretty awful way to die.


Hope my life evr gets to the point where I even contemplate that. Never understood why anyone would want a public suicide.

Glad to hear you are ok tho.

That was a suicide??? That would be really fucked up....

[Ally_Kat]

ZOMG. owned by some higher power, indeed.

So this guy tried to off himself by blowing up the building. Building explodes. Guy lives and is in critical condition at a local hospital. And instead of lying in the fire, he called 911 for help.

And this guy is a doctor.

I'm sorry, but I find that funny.

[Figs]

He might not live too long after people find out about this....

It gets better. He tried to off himself and decided to take the building with him because his wife wanted a divorce and the building was up for grabs.

Why don't you do what you do whenever you meet something that's gay then, and blow it?

Picking Brian Minto to defeat the exploding building would un-gay it, right?
