天然气间歇泉在繁忙的百老汇爆发
12月4日，在纽约州合并的爱迪生公司（Edison Company of New York）的24英寸主管上逃脱的燃烧气的点火爆发了大火，灯光照亮了百老汇和曼哈顿40th Street的拐角处，就像巨型火炬一样。Three persons, two of them Edison employees, were slightly injured by the flare-up and a full-alarm assignment of four engines, two ladder companies and other midtown units of the New York Fire Department put in a hectic hour’s work before the danger of a major disaster was averted.
下午1:00曼哈顿时代广场周围的地区通常是大城市中最繁忙，最拥挤的区域之一。在那个星期三，它与购物者和车辆交通震撼了。道路冰冷，雪橇和雪。
