One hospital, St. Vincent's, said it was treating eight patients, six of whom were critically injured. Other victims, bloody and bandaged, sat on curbs waiting for transportation. A preliminary injury total stood at 50, said police spokesman Michael O'Looney. A tally of hospitals showed at least 20 people were taken to four of them; other people were treated at the scene. Plumbers were working on the boiler in the commercial building at 121 W. 19th St. at the time of the I 1:30 a.m. blast, but it was unclear if that was the cause of the explosion. Windows along the block were blown out by the force of the blast, and several of the injured were hit by flying glass. The facade of the build ing was blown off; it was unclear how much of the build ing’s interior had collapsed. Scott Bonilla, a student at the nearby Apex Technical School, said he was inside the building when it began shaking. “They told us to rush out of the building,” he said. “There was like an explosion ... and I ran out of there.” Law enforcement officials said did not appear to be an act of terrorism. “It was just a really loud noise,” said Stuart Markowitz, who runs the technical school's education department. “Some of Madison Square Garden. 23 rd St 19th St St Vincents' Hospital 1 £ : m ^ pi 4 2nd St StpreSs pSutt; j|| 14th $• World Trade -* Center site • L mi | 0 1.2 km SOURCES: Associated Press ESRI: GOT our w indow s did get blow,tel All students were evacuated, he said, reports that the explosion! place inside the school were not true, he said. USS Cole returns to Norfolk NORFOLK. Va. (AP) — The USS Cole returned to its home port Thursday a stronger, better ship than when a terrorists’ bomb ripped it open and killed 17 of its sailors a year and a half ago in Yemen. The destroyer underwent $250 million of repairs over 14 months at Northrop Grumman's Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula. Miss., then began the trip home to Norfolk Naval Station last week. A steady rain fell as several hundred people waited under tents in a parking lot at the base. As the ship came into view, people began waving American Hags and snapping pictures. Ronald W. Francis drove five hours tali home in North Carolina to honor the memor: his daughter, Lakeina Monique Francis, 19,am management specialist who died in the bo “My daughter is part of the ship. 1 visualize what she was doing on the ship Francis said. John Clodfelter, of Mechanicsville, Va.,» of slain hull technician Kenneth Clodfelter.. went to Mississippi to see the ship departs drove to Norfolk to see it dock.
