Con Edison confirmed at least one manhole explosion was because of a cable fire, and said that typically what leads to the blasts is failing insulation — but why the insulation my have failed in Times Square remains a mystery

Three manhole fires in Times Square Sunday night send people scrambling in the Crossroads of the World. Two police officers were taken to a hospital for tinnitus. "We saw black smoke out of the ground. Two minutes later — boom! The whole block is shaking now," said Joseph Romero."It sounded like something blew up, man. Sounded like it could have been a terrorist attack."
