COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Columbus were trying to
determine the source of several explosions downtown overnight that blew
off manhole covers, set off fire alarms and flooded emergency
responders with calls.
At least three blasts, apparently underground, occurred in the early hours of Friday morning.
Police
cordoned off streets, and the electric company cut power to several
surrounding buildings. Some traffic lights were knocked out. Smoke was
seen coming from one of the manholes.
The investigation was continuing. No injuries were reported.
