It’s praiseworthy responsible public relations that people in charge with insight debunked the idea of a terrorist cause, as soon as it became apparent that this was an accident. Same goes for other situations; there’s enough fear out there.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are the steam pipes for? Where does the steam come from/go to?
Don't know about NYC, but in Boston Trigen provides steam heat and power for more than 230 businesses. More that I don't know about steam: Trigen also provides cooling for business with that steam and also steam for food prep and sterilization.

Wouldn't it be great to harness the steam to run steam engines that pull cables for street cars? Seems there some neat potential for all that power.

One of my favorite toys as a kid was a Wilesco steam engine.
