Administrators bbdude Posted March 12, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Reportedly one dead and 16 injured. Did the building simply collapse or are they concerned about potential foul play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randolph Duke Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 There is a building close to where this explosion happened that was the Nation of Islam temple in Harlem back in the 1960s. After Malcolm X was assassinated, his supporters sought revenge and set a bomb off that blew the top floor off the building. The NOI simply installed a new roof on what had been the floor of the top floor and the building stands today one story shorter than it was originally built. Whenever a building explosion happens in Harlem, the first though of most people in Harlem goes back to that event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
