From CBS New York:
An exclusive video obtained by CBS 2 showed the deadly blast that took down two buildings in East Harlem as it happened.
As CBS 2’s Kathryn Brown reported, the video was shot by a security camera mounted on a building across the street from the scene at Park Avenue off 116th Street.
First, video from a camera pointing north on Park Avenue shows windows shattering seemingly out of nowhere, and debris begins raining down onto the sidewalk.
Then, on the opposite side of the street, a cloud of thick, black smoke begins to envelop everything as the buildings explode.
