Massive gas explosion in NYC levels buildings

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Oh you just take that view and get the hell outta here. I only want to watch shows about aliens that do home makeovers for poor people who live off the side of ice roads in Alaska that truckers go flying by on.

Something about the people on that video: their reactions are so...American. A Brit, a Kiwi, they would show great concern or alarm at the sight and sound of those explosions. Americans? Nope. We hoot and whoop!*



*Disclaimer: yes, this would be my reaction as well. Not knockin it.

Good thing he didn't fix harmonicas.

Think what might have occurred if he was a flautist.

 

[CavLancer]

I refuse.

That must have struck a chord.

The puns in the comment section of that article get even better.

From that article:

And a 26-year-old man who volunteered to man a deli counter briefly sustained cuts and bruises when the deli's windows blew out in the blast. "I can’t believe it,” he told the Daily News. “He asked me to watch the store for an hour. It wasn’t 30 minutes and this happened."
