The New York Post reported that a dumpster blew up, blowing out some of the windows of a nearby residence for the blind.

Update - CNN - It doesn't appear to be life threatening injuries and gas explosion ruled out
 
Watching Fox News right now.... the Judge was absolutely horrible... just "ugghhhh.... ummmmm.... about every 5 seconds"

She also said a dumpster that was mangled (about the size of 3 men) was blown to pieces...
 
CNN - believe cause of explosion is an IED in or near a dumpster. The explosion in NJ was a pipe bomb.
 
My BIL lives on 23rd and 6th. He is ok. But shaken up. To say the least.

I'm glad he is ok it must be very scary for this to happen on your own doorstep. I hope and pray this is not going to be repeated if terrorism - no evidence of that yet.

He is usually very calm and not a worrier. He texted me as it happened and said "I'm okay". I had not idea what he was talking about. It hadn't been reported yet.

Explosion rocks Chelsea in New York City


A dumpster blew up at 8:40 p.m. Saturday night in Chelsea, blowing out the lower windows of a 14-story residence for the blind.

At least 26 suffered minor injuries from what may have been an explosive device, police sources told The Post.

The explosion, described by one neighbor as “deafening,” happened outside the Associated Blind Housing facility at 135 W. 23rd Street. The facility provides housing, training and other services for the blind.

According to police radio transmissions, the people inside the facility have been initially told to remain inside as police began their investigation.
