i strongly suspect we are being lied to. the pipe was inspected 7 hours before it "exploded". the tow truck in the crater hole is also odd. wouldn't the steam gyser have blown it out of the hole? and where is the UNEDITED footage of the explosion itself? think about it. this was a psyop. the neocons want to get us thinking about terrorism and 911 - they want to prepare us for the next big attack.

I respect your opinion but i dont agree myself. The bridge accident was also an act of terrorism, as was the oil depot fire in new york and the one i england... I dont think so. Other accidents happend.

scary stuff, i live in new jersey, about 45 miles from the city, and i turned on the tv and all i heard was screaming..then i saw the steam..it was pretty cool though, but its s ad that there was a death and some injuries.

At last report, there was one death due to a heart attack, and over 20 people injured. Businesses in the area lost and/or are still losing a fortune, which probably means that some people will either lose some pay, lose their jobs, or lose their businesses.

I saved it to my favorites..its on my faves.Unleashed video,and the Destiny video...

[JoeyTheKillerjtk]

I also thought that for 5 sec. then I realized it isn't so.

[KarpuzcuAmca]

that is a terrorist activity in my opinion. but your government doesnt tell ya anything because they dont wanna worry you and also encourage terrorism.

[pmw14282]

It was a steam pipe, not a building, I think Al Quada could come up with a better target don't you??

[KarpuzcuAmca]

uhm not rly, they have so many iqualified brainwashed terrorists who are unable to choose a good target. plus this doesnt seem like a suicide bombin. a pipe doesnt shake a building and damage it hard.

[pmw14282]

Maybe they've moved their strategy from killing and maiming, to just inconveniencing people now?? What is the message they are sending by targetting a service pipe!? Those pipes are old, they come under immense heat and pressure, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.

[ibook133]

It has happened before. It wasn't terrorist related, the pipe is encased in either asphalt or cement, that's why the blast went up, and not down. If this line had burst somewhere else, like into a below grade passageway, it could have really hurt or killed a lot of people unable to escape from the heat and pressure. Cast iron pipes are the older pipes in the steam system, and are far more brittle than the newer steel pipes.

[pmw14282]

There was a plan to blow up a gas pipe that stretches right through Manhattan, and into New Jersey. Maybe they got the pipe plans mixed up on their second attempt, lol?

[KarpuzcuAmca]

well thi si american way of thinking :=) there could b so much reason. i belive it was not a suicide bombing. they cant do it frealy in puıblic. it will draw so much attention and it could have been left ino a garbage can which will cause such impact on pipe.. otherwise pipes dont exploid and shake buildings.. there can also be so many different reason why they choose such target. i can't list all them here. no enough charachter :=)

[pmw14282]

Leave another message??

You must have a good video camera, or a very steady hand.

[SquarePeg49]

Neither of the above, believe it or not--I shot this using the video function on my "still" camera. Thanks for the compliment.
