The blast killed eight people and left more than 60 others injured. Police had said earlier that at least one person was still unaccounted for, but Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano said Friday that no one else was believed to be missing.
As CBS 2’s Don Champion reported, investigators and Con Edison crews were still looking Friday night for the apparent gas leak that caused the explosion. Emergency crews must finish clearing the blast site before NTSB crews move in to begin pressure-testing pipes under the streets.
