4/5 🧵 Con Edison’s early explanation is that a multi-axle truck appears to have dislodged the cover about 12 minutes earlier. If that holds up, the timeline is brutal: an ordinary traffic event may have turned a sidewalk/street edge into a lethal trap in under a quarter hour. The witness also described the hole as seeming extremely hot, with water at the bottom — possibly steaming — which raises the possibility that the danger wasn’t just the fall, but heat, burns, or air conditions underground as well.
