At 3:59 p.m. a loud rumble sounded and the lower facade of one of the buildings began moving. A moment later it slid slowly to the sidewalk in a mix of glass and loose bricks.
Heavy gray smoke filled the air, and a few moments later as it began to lift it could be seen that no part of the building was left standing.
Jordi Trachtenberg was smoking an electronic cigarette on St. Marks Place, trying to calm down after an explosion “rocked his apartment and made him jump” from his chair.
Mr. Trachtenberg, who lives at 30 St. Marks Place, which faces the back of buildings on Second Avenue, said he thought the explosion was in his building, where he has lived for eight years.
“I felt the ground shake underneath me, and then all this debris — plaster and glass — started pelting my windows,” he said.
“I ran from my building when I saw the flames go up and my apartment filled with smoke,” Mr. Trachtenberg said. “I couldn’t breathe, I started gagging.”
”My first thought really was it was my home,” he said, “because we haven’t had gas for six months, and Con Ed was doing work outside today.”

A dude I knew through someone else posted on facebook that he walked by, smelled gas and saw workers going back and forth frantically. As he got a little further down the street apparently that's when the explosion happened.
