Six people were killed and 62 injured in the East Harlem explosion that leveled two buildings Wednesday, and the search continues for nine occupants who are unaccounted for, city officials said.
Griselde Camacho, 45, Carmen Tanco, 67 and Rosaura Hernandez-Barrios, 21 were confirmed as having died in the incident, with the fourth victim identified as a male body and a fifth and sixth victim pulled from the rubble overnight, officials said. Andreas Panagopoulos was among the nine who remained missing late early Thursday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said investigators will focus on Con Edison’s response to the gas leak that caused the blast.
