"Sudden Explosion Rocks Midtown Parking Garage, Leaves Two Women Hospitalized"
A shocking explosion rocked a Midtown parking garage late Thursday night, sending two women to the hospital in critical condition. According to authorities, emergency responders were called to the scene just after 9 p.m. on East 53rd Street between Lexington and Third avenues.
Eyewitnesses report that police and firefighters arrived quickly to assess the situation, with officials initially suspecting a generator malfunction as the cause of the blast. However, further investigation is ongoing to determine the exact origin of the explosion.
The two women, aged 25, were rushed to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where one was in critical condition while the other received treatment for minor injuries. Fire officials confirmed that first responders brought the scene under control by 9:30 p.m., with no signs of foul play at this time.
"It's a miracle more people weren't hurt," said an FDNY spokesperson. As investigators continue to look into the cause of the explosion, authorities are urging caution and vigilance in the area until further notice.

Parking garages need some serious security checks ASAP! Can't believe two ladies had to go through that 
they were rushed to the hospital & one of them is in critical condition 
the police & firefighters are still tryin to figure out what caused it but so far it don't seem like it was no accident... the cops just said there's no signs of foul play tho 
anyway, they brought the area under control pretty quick so we don't know how bad it coulda been 
how many times have i seen vids of cars falling off 10th floor lol didnt think it could happen again tho 
hope those two ladies are okay btw what kinda generator is big enough to blow up a whole garage tho 
shouldve been checked by the city already 
One of those lasses is still critical tho, that's not cool at all 
. Hope she pulls through soon! 
You'd think it'd be safer in a place like that, especially at night.
and got everyone under control in no time 
. Still super weird that it's gonna take some time to figure out what happened though 
?
I mean, two women hospitalized because of some explosion... it's just not right. And to think the cops and firefighters showed up quickly, it's a good thing more people weren't hurt, for sure 
Anyway, glad no one else was hurt... fingers crossed that's the last of it till next week 
and get back to their normal lives soon. You know, it's moments like these that make me grateful for the bravery of our first responders – they're truly heroes 
. Fire department did a great job getting there fast, though 
. But I gotta ask, how do you investigate an explosion without knowing if it was a generator or something else? 
.
. And now we're getting updates on it over here, and it just feels like our lives are being paused while everyone else is dealing with real-life drama 
. It's a bit much for me to handle right now...
we gotta get to the bottom of this ASAP so ppl can stop bein all nervous and stuff.
Also, I'm not buying the whole "generator malfunction" thing... how likely is it that all those people were standing around just waiting for a generator to blow up on you? 
. Can't imagine being in that spot at night... hope the police get to the bottom of this soon
