G W Bush, the White House, Cheney, you-name-it, etc., and reading all of these worthless, good-for-nothing, pathetic, makes-me-want-to-vomit comments by all of these liberals who have absolutely nothing better to do!!! Come on, people!!! Move on and get a life!!!

I agree, all people making oppositional comments about the free market, privatization of production, resources and capital, the war on terror, disaster response within the boundries of the U.S. etc. are all liberals and need to either be with those who are in power or shutup. Your comments are quite relevant to the story and I applaud you. You are a true patriot defending the freedom to expect loyalty to the ideology of global trade and privitization which is the foundation of the leaders you so eloquently have spoken in defense of.

Don't those cops look cute in the pink breathers?
How do they fit a donut through those things?
Anyways, those two on the left look like they're in love.

Even though determined to be not an act of terror, it is clear the hand of a higher power is sending a warning to New Yorkers and all americans by rattling the wires of collective body public post traumatic stress response.

Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security's gut feeling that an act of terror was looming was largely ridiculed last week so the almighty has intervened to make a profound statement on behalf of the need to be aware of ones surroundings at all times.

How much do these posters get paid by the Pentagoons to sit and type this garbage? Polls don't lie, something really stinks in Washington, and the voters know it.

Nothing!!! I get paid nothing for what I say. I'm just sick and tired of reading all of these journals writen about different subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with G W Bush, the White House, Cheney, you-name-it, etc., and reading all of these worthless, good-for-nothing, pathetic, makes-me-want-to-vomit comments by all of these liberals who have absolutely nothing better to do!!! Come on, people!!! Move on and get a life!!!

"a fact that Con Ed later admitted it concealed for days while residents were exposed."

And do they feel compelled to be honest now??

I agree more money needs to be spent on infrastructure, but the stem pipes under NY City are probably funded locally by the city or NY State, not the Federal Government. In a city as large as NY, I'm not surprised that there are steam pipes over 80 years old still in use. I'm not fan of President Bush, but I don't think we can blame this one on him, but on former Mayor Gulliani, perhaps.

"Some of those concerns were alleviated Thursday, the morning after the steam pipe explosion near Grand Central Terminal, when city officials announced that tests did not detect asbestos in the air. The carcinogen was found, however, in some debris and dust that had settled, the city Office of Emergency Management said."

I feel safer already. Wait a minute! Isn't this what they said about 911? Aren't they being proved wrong on a daily basis?

A great bumper sticker: "If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention"

If i had not Grown up in a third world Country(Fathers Co. shipped us overseas)where things like this happened all the time...Warnings Against ,Opposing factions,Terror etc.. then a Bomb explodes, or a plant blows up, or a car backfires into an "explosion"... ...Many of these Third world Govt.'s saw the benefits to keeping the populace in fear ... I am wondering if we are not seeing some of the same stuff here

Call me crazy,.. 1, ONE day after a report sayin' the Boogey man terrorists are " Comin' ta get ya"/... this happens..???in NYC ? Why do these strange coincidences always seem to Happen w/ li'l georgie and company?? I am not a "conspiracy" guy... but somehow...i'm leery this was a manufactured explosion. I blame my upbringing...this could not Happen in my USA..could it ?..hope not..lol

Just another way for someone to sue someone. To all of you blame every thing on the US government,
Get out of the US. We don't need you and don't want you.

With all the badass treasonous acts that Bu$hCo has staged since they seized power, why should New Yorkers believe anything they are told by our government?
The US is under the control of a cabal of dangerous, lying fascist NeoCorporate profiteers, who will do anything to retain their power and control.
The fact that the White House lied to NYC residents about air quality while destroying the world's biggest crime scene still lingers in the minds of three-quarters of the citizens of this once-great society...

ZEITGEISTmovie.com, ZEITGEISTmovie.com, ZEITGEISTmovie.com, every skeptical and every republican should watch it. It's skin scolding.

Thanks fascistusa for this posting.

-With all this I'll never be able to sleep without having the American People remove this tyrants' spokesperson whom I called from the beginning the George Walking-Liar Bush.

Is this the government and under-government we're fighting for?

Again ZEITGEISTmovie.com just copy paste in your URL and lay back. Warning: it may take almost 2 hours, but so rich, so controversial!

With less and less money going to infrastructure,and more and more money going to fight terrorism , we'll see more of these cases of systems falling into disrepair and exploding,and falling down,...We still need to invest money into these systems, or it will be to our detriment.
