(The left is demanding a civil war. A case could be made that the degree of one’s personal maturity could be measured by the degree to which one is wary of one’s own desires. Those who seek the destruction of the greatest liberal state in human history are not showing much maturity, and may get what they want to their detriment.)

One of 34 patients was seriously injured, a police spokesman said; Others were seen unconscious or shot down by gas in the Murray Street scene, according to witnesses.

Authorities initially reported the situation as a fire in the basement of the 12-story building at about 8:30 am. Emergency crews quickly surrounded the scene, while fire officials noted “high carbon monoxide readings throughout the building.”

From COED Com:

32 people were injured in New York City due to a ‘gas incident’. The FBI and a bomb squad were on the scene and eventually determined that the reported suspicious package was not hazardous.

According to the New York City Fire Department and Police Department, the incident, which happened in the area of West Broadway and Murray Street, was due to a defective boiler that produced high amounts of carbon monoxide.

Chief James Leonard said: “We found a defective boiler in the basement with some sort of broken pipe that was producing the CO.”
