At least Four people were reportedly killed and at least 64 were injured Wednesday when a suspected gas explosion tore through a building in Manhattan's East Harlem neighborhood, collapsing at least part of the structure, authorities said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “There will be a search through the rubble of the building once the fire has been put out.” 

“This is a tragedy of the worse kind because there was no indication in time to save people,” 

"They were right there," one source told ABC News, referring to how close two of the deceased victims were to the explosion.
