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."
