BOOM! Crown Heights manhole explosion
left many without power
BY JESSICA PARKS
Around 100 Crown Heights residents
were left without power for several
hours after a massive manhole explosion
on Tuesday morning — which
completely incinerated a car that was
parked on the above street.
Utility company Con Edison did
not determine the cause of the explosion
— which occurred on Dean Street
between Utica and Rochester avenues
at around 1 am — but speculated that
the “wet weather” may have contributed.
Company reps said that power was
not fully restored to its customers until
8:14 am on Wednesday morning —
more than 31 hours after the explosion
— due to a separate incident on
the same power line.
Wilfi do Mazarigos, whose 2009
Toyota Camry was wrecked by the impact,
simply expressed gratitude that
nobody was hurt from the explosion.
