This is a pretty big fire going on and that's a tall building in the Bronx.

Looks like a large part of the roof flew up in the air when the gas explosion hit the 19 story building. The building is part of the New York City Housing Authority properties and its for low income residents (80% of area median income cap or income for this building averaged $19,487 a year per Grok)

How is this possible if NYC minimum wage is $17/hr?

But I just looked at every tv station in ny - nothing. Not on the fox news, cnn pages either. Not in the Times..

I mean by now most people here know the NYPost is a good source for news - where is it?

The story is three hours old, I cant believe no other station isnt there now if it is true

After looking and looking I found this - which might be confirmation I guess. But where is everyone else?

How much of an idiot do you have to be to think the New York Fire Department's Twitter account isn't a legit source to report a fire in New York?
