An explosion rocked New York City's East Village neighborhood Thursday afternoon and after the blast two buildings were engulfed in flames and and at least a partial building collapse has been reported.

Witnesses at the scene tweeted photos showing the two burning buildings smoke pouring out of the roofs of both. The buildings are both low-rise tenement-style structures.

The apparent blast and fire occurred at 125 Second Ave. around 3:30 p.m. The building is a mix of commerical and residential tenants, according to local media reports.

The cause of the blast and whether there were confirmed injuries was not immediately known, the New York City Police Department said. According to the local ABC News affiliate, the FDNY was on the scene and at least one person was seen being carried away from the building on a stretcher.

A police officer at the scene told Yahoo News there are serveral injuries but could not yet give a confirmed number. CNN reported there may be people trapped inside the building.

I wonder just who will get the blame for this. I don't think there are any crack junkies in Manhattan. ;)

I'm watching it live. These buildings are old, real old, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a gas leak or a crazed, bomb making Muzzie terrorist cell :)
