Three workers were injured, one critically, after a gas line exploded during construction at John F. Kennedy High School in Manhattan damaging three floors of the school.
Seven workers were working on a construction project in a science laboratory and were draining gas from a main in the lab before starting their work. The workers apparently failed to drain the main completely resulting in the explosion.
While no serious fire lingered after the initial explosion, nearly 140 firefighters and dozens of fire trucks responded to the scene.

Back in March of this year, construction workers remodeling a restaurant in New York's East Village hit a gas line that caused a massive explosion which injured 25 and damaged three buildings.
