The police arrested five people and charged four of them with involuntary manslaughter on Thursday in connection with a deadly gas explosion that rocked the East Village in Manhattan last spring, killing two men, injuring scores more and forcing hundreds of people from their homes.
The powerful blast at 121 Second Avenue in March reduced three buildings to rubble, raised concerns about the state of New York City’s aging infrastructure and highlighted the problems of people possibly tapping into gas lines in ways that could be dangerous.
Speaking at a news conference, the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr., said that with construction taking place across the city at a “breakneck speed” the “financial incentives to take shortcuts has never been stronger.”
