UPDATED: Buildings Collapse After Explosion, Fire In East Harlem

CBS NY  "Two buildings have collapsed after an explosion Wednesday morning in East Harlem.
It happened around 9 a.m. on Park Avenue on 116th Street, the FDNY said. One of the buildings that collapsed had a piano repair shop with apartments above. The second building housed a church.
"It’s unclear if anyone was inside the buildings at the time of the explosion. Officials believe the buildings were both 5 stories tall.
Video from the scene shows heavy smoke rising from the area as hundreds of firefighters battle the blaze, which has been upgraded to five-alarms. Debris and rubble could be seen scattered all over the area."

Terrorists? Maybe, but why would they attack someplace other that a conspicuous major area?
