some reporting the smell of gas in the air. more than 120 firefighters and rescue personnel responding as raging flames shot out of the building. a maelstrom of fire, hanging wires, gas leaking, building collapsing around them, to try to get into this building and make a rescue. reporter: david, officials say the fire is under control, but dozens have been forced out of their homes, as crews investigate what caused this devastating blast. david? erielle reshef tonight. erielle, thank you. and tonight, with millions of americans set to travel for the holiday, the forecast is now shaping up. storms in the west. brutal cold elsewhere and when it should lift. and all of this, of course, after the dangerous snow squalls across the northeast. this one moving quickly in over manhattan in the last 24 hours. it was quite a picture. another one in central pennsylvania, causing this massive tractor trailer pileup, killing one and sending more than three dozen to area hospitals. so, let s
in manhattan, kendis, i know you were there when there was still natural light outside reporter: whoa! oh, did it just happen? the lights just came on behind you! let s go back to kendis. look at that! that looks like that was the final grid they were working to restore. kendis, is the marquee lit up? reporter: it is back on! the marquee s back on. msnbc s chris pollone is live in new york city. kendis was excited. we re all glad the power s back on, but what really caused this? reporter: yeah, that was a crazy few hours. that was a great moment there. and that s the question, jo lyng, that city and state leaders are asking themselves this morning, exactly why did this happen? the local power company over manhattan, over new york city, con edison, initially blamed this on an equipment failure, but a full investigation is under way this morning to figure out exactly why that equipment failed, plunging a great swath of the west side of manhattan into darkness.

that it was a forced landing means a pilot meant to do this, they knew where they were going. so this pilot attempted to put this helicopter down on the top of a tall building. we don t know what sort of success he met with he oh r e met with. it does not seem there is a fatality, which is great news. you cannot land a helicopter on a building in new york. that has been the says since may 16th of 1977, when there was a company called new york airways that crashed a building a helicopter on the top of what was the pan am building, now the new york met building. and since then, that has been banned. uber is actually trying to get that ban lifted, because it wants to have helicopters, but you do not see, generally speaking, low-flying helicopters over manhattan. there are news helicopters, police helicopters, people with special permits. but they ve got to be fairly high up in order to do that. so 750 feet is high up for most people. in manhattan, not that high. so it would be very su
over manhattan. at one point, miranda moves to brooklyn and everyone freaks out. certainly central park, the stoop at carrie s apartment, magnolia bakery, where the cup cakes got put on the map. all these night life spots and restaurants. the city really felt like part of the characters as carrie bradshaw made her way through her life and love life with her girlfriends around town. this is what we re trying to look at today. these people are really dedicated to the show. the fans stay fans for a long time. it s been 14 years since the show ended. it s hard to believe it s been that long, but certainly people still remember these moments. this fountain with the breakup, the horse and carriage ride, which we ll be doing soon. certainly all those moments where the four women took on manhattan and made their lives and made their way as single women in new york city. we re taking a look at that today, of course, leading up to tonight s big premiere of the
