Two people are dead and at least 24 others are injured after a huge explosion collapsed two East Harlem buildings Wednesday morning where residents complained of smelling gas for weeks, witnesses and authorities said.
At least a dozen people are still missing and the death toll could rise, police sources said.
Heavy smoke pours from the debris as the FDNY battles a huge blaze following an explosion and building collapse in East Harlem.
The two buildings affected are a piano shop with apartments above and a building that houses a church, both located at 116th Street and Park Avenue.
The MTA has stopped Metro-North trains from entering and leaving Grand Central Terminal.
