ALBANY - An explosion rocked a portion of downtown Wednesday afternoon, though it does not appear that anyone was injured.
The incident happened at about 4 p.m. near the intersection of State Street and Broadway, a part of the neighborhood that includes SUNY headquarters and the U.S. District Court House.
National Grid crews were called to the scene and it appears an underground cable may have burned, utility spokesman Patrick Stella said. The cable is part of an extensive system of underground cables. Stella said no one lost utility service.
Witnesses said the blast could be felt in surrounding businesses.
