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

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

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

In addition to the two dead, both women, two people had life-threatening injuries, two more had serious but not life-threatening injuries and the others had minor injuries, the Fire Department said. De Blasio noted that several people were still unaccounted for.

Those gas leaks scare me. We have natural gas in our neighborhood and in my house.
