紐約曼哈頓發生爆炸 3人死亡63人受傷

One minute, Colin Patterson was watching TV. The next, he saw pianos flying through the air in the shop where he works as an explosion tore through the building.
前一分鐘，科林·帕特森正在看電視。下一分鐘，他就看到工作的店裏鋼琴飛到空中，因爲這時一場爆炸炸裂了這棟樓。

"They flew off the ground," said the piano technician, who also lives in the building in Manhattan's East Harlem. He told CNN affiliate WABC that he crawled through the rubble and managed to escape unharmed.
“鋼琴都離開地面了，” 這位鋼琴技師說道，他住在曼哈頓東部的哈林區。他告訴CNN旗下的WABC新聞臺說他從廢墟中爬出來，所幸沒有受傷。

Near 116th Street and Park Avenue, once the heart of New York's large Puerto Rican community, about a dozen firefighters tore at two-story-high mounds of bricks in a search for survivors from the two buildings, which housed a piano store and an evangelical church in addition to apartments.

As gas and electric utility workers tore up pavement in an effort to shut gas lines, people gathered in the streets, many crying.
當天然氣和電力工人們撥開廢墟試圖關閉天然氣管道時，圍觀人羣聚集在街道上，其中有很多人在哭泣。

“這場事故是一場後果很嚴重的慘劇，” 紐約市長比爾·德·布拉西奧說道，“因爲此前沒有及時的救援預警信息。”
