nytimes.com - With hopes fading in the search for two men who have been missing since an explosion jolted a stretch of the East Village, emergency workers on Saturday continued to scour the debris of the three buildings that were destroyed on Thursday in the blast and ensuing fire.
Workers hauled axes, hammers and hooks as two cranes transferred debris to trash bins and heaps piled atop Second Avenue. Teams used rakes to pick through what remained.
The blocks adjacent to the site, near the intersection of East Seventh Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan, remained behind police barricades, guarded by officers wearing face masks.
