10 hours ago'Definitely were warning signs': Gas smell preceded Bronx NYCHA collapse, tenants say
Residents of a Bronx public housing complex say they smelled gas around the site of a partial building collapse in the hours and days leading up to the disaster that city officials are blaming on a boiler explosion. The explosion around 8 a.m. Wednesday toppled bricks and left a 20-story tear along the side of the building at 205 Alexander Ave., where a chimney once stood.
