From Fox 5:

The FDNY evacuated a block in Queens Wednesday afternoon because of an active gas leak, the department said.

Firefighters responded to an emergency call at 164-44 75th Avenue in Jamaica Estates. According to an early report, a high-pressure gain main ruptured and is leaking gas.

164-44 75th Avenue is not in Jamaica Estates but in Fresh Meadows.

Fox 5 doesn't know anything about Queens east of Flushing. Fresh Meadows doesn't get enough respect!! It's a great place to live and work, by the way!!

I don't know about working, but if you have a car, Fresh Meadows is one of the nicest places to live in Queens.

It's definitely a Queens Crap goldmine, too.

I just started working in the area this week and can attest that not only is that Fresh Meadows, it is a great place to work.

Seriously, it won't be long before such a nice place starts looking like Flushing. Just wait and see!

Anonymous #4, you obviously do "give a shit". This may not be the place to drop it, though.

But if it's dropped near Bovine Shulman, who'd know?

The gas main didn't rupture, it was CUT by a dumbass contractor who was hired by the city to replace sidewalks that were damaged by tree roots
