Breaking: 11th Street shut down; some sort of 'nasty-smelling smoke'
Thanks to EV Grieve reader Patrick for the photo and info:
"They've shut down 11th btw 1st and 2nd aves. Some sort of nasty-smelling smoke coming from a grate/manhole. They've got con-ed emergency crews on the block."
it's either an early b&t[er] showered in axe has fallen in that manhole, or, since east village is running out of space on the streets for yet another hookah joint, one opened down there
When I left for work this morning at 8:30, I walked on that block and saw the smoke (it looked more like steam to me). I didn't notice any smell. FDNY were already there accessing what it was. For the sake of the people living on that block, I hope it's nothing serious.
wonder if this has anything to do with the constant steam leak from con edison on 11th street 1-A. it's been going on for over a year. the steam has already killed one tree and is on the way to killing another one, perhaps two (in its plume). local councilmember and cb#3 have been notified numerous times. in june (2010) con edison set up a planning committee with no chair and no information). then there was that burst of steam on first avenue 10-11 posted on ev grieve late last year.
