Battalion Chief Redican and a team of FDNY specialists confer with Con Edison employees that have been searching for the leak .

A portable command post was set up to administer a situation that could possibly become a major FDNY operation .
Three ambulances have been placed in Tompkins Square Park along with 3 or 4 other ambulaces parked nearby on the street ... just in case something goes wrong .
Finally Con Edison is closing in on the leak . The last stage of finding the leak involves boring holes in which to place gas detector probes . The holes also serve to vent the leaking gas safely to the atmosphere in the street thus reducing the amount of gas that leaks into building basements . The leak was found to be somewhere around the entrance to 131 ave. A .

A Con Edison supervisor suggested that the old cast iron gas main in the street was by its very nature somewhat brittle and in cold weather even more brittle and that heavy traffic moving the surrounding soil probably caused the cast iron pipe to crack and thus leak gas .

When FDNY evacuated her building Dori took her two dogs and two of her nieghbors ,Jerry and Tim , to her restaurant ,"Dawgs On Park" , for coffee and a warm place to wait out their temporary homeless condition .When I photographed them outside Ray's Candystore they were on their way back to their apartments having been informed by FDNY that it was safe to return home .

Can I ask what kind of camera you are using, and if you are using a flash? Your pictures have a very nice clarity and appear quite natural.
The media is not covering the continued red lights signalling this rapid over the top development for the rich and the mega dorm student housing is being built on an old infrastructure which is convenient for the Bloomberg administration, NYU and the developers and more is to come so thanks for reporting the news...
