Building Collapse on the Upper East Side

I don't think they know if it was residential or commercial just yet. It was breaking news on Regis and Kelly. I hope no one was hurt. It's on 62nd between Park and Madison.

One woman was brought to the hospital. And yes, they keep saying it was residential but they also say it was doc's offices...

There are a lot of apartment buildings ( especailly on the east side) that have doctor & dentist offices on the first floor--mayeb it was one of those types of buildings.

MY DH went to school right next door to the building. He said when he was in high school (80s) that it was rumored that the Dr. offices that were there were abortion doctors and that the neighborhood didn't like that at all!

They are now reporting it was most likely a gas line, as Con Ed was nearby working on a line.
