Waboom?

Er ... I didn't realize there'd been an explosion just a little bit downtown from me until I got home and heard a snippet of news. No panic in the streets, not from what I saw. Lots of emergency vehicles moving about, but that's pretty much every day here in New York.

Face it, this is a city that would make a pretty respectable nation-state in its own right. Things happen here. Life goes on.
