TIMES SQUARE Manhattan - Footage from EarthCam showed the moment a large crowd ran from a manhole explosion.

TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (PIX11) — Video from Times Square’s EarthCam showed panicked people running from a loud bang heard Sunday night.

Con Edison, an investor-owned energy company, confirmed the sound was a manhole explosion due to cable failure.

FDNY officials told PIX11 News there were three manholes on fire after the incident. The fires started around 6:44 p.m. Elevated carbon monoxide levels were found at 229 West 43rd Street, and firefighters mitigated the location’s basement and sub-basement.

Fire operations officially stopped around 8:55 p.m., officials said.

One Twitter user took footage of people running away after the initial bang and shared it with PIX11 News.
