Temporary boilers were being shuttled into a Bronx city housing complex to restore heat and hot water to residents a day after a massive gas explosion ripped the corner brick chimney off a 20-story apartment building.
City housing officials said investigators were still trying to determine what led to the Wednesday morning explosion that rained bricks and debris on a Mott Haven street and courtyard below.
Miraculously, there no deaths or reported injuries caused by the thunderous explosion, officials said.
“The collapse at Mitchel Houses was a very unfortunate, isolated incident,” a New York City Housing Authority spokesman said in a statement. “We are confident that our city agency partners will thoroughly assess this incident, and we look forward to their findings.”
