From the mailbag: "Hey there was another burning taxi... this one in front of the porn theater up 8th avenue a block north of the Times. Maybe one of your NYT spies has a pic! We sure had a great view from here."

We know you can't get enough of today's burning taxi photos, so here are some incredible shots from the folks at WNBC, who rushed down to Rockefeller Center from, you know, upstairs, and eventually decided to put them online. [WNBC]

From the mailbag: "Holy crap. I was having lunch at Rock Center with pasta on my lap when this car explodes right outside of Anthropologie about 20 min ago. I'm back at my desk now having a diet coke— wishing it was scotch. People rushed towards the scene to take cell phone pics. A second boom. Not funny stuff. People were saying it was a taxi." And: "There was some car fire coming out of 5th Avenue near Rockefeller Center. The fire guy is saying at was on 50th St." And: "A cab blew up on 51st between 6th and 7th. At first the rumor was that 30 rock blew up. It didn't. and now nobody here cares."
