Wikipedia article on the 'splosion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_New_York_City_steam_explosion
Pretty typical of Wikipedia to slot events and concepts into their own pages, rather than lump them into mega-articles. I've lived in Manhattan for 15 years, and there have been at least five steam pipe explosions in that time; plus numerous smaller ones that did not rip the street open, or fling a manhole cover into the air.
