An explosion Thursday in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan damaged adjoining high-rise buildings housing a technical school, offices and residential units and injured at least 50 people, three seriously, police and fire officials said. It appears the explosion happened in the building housing the offices and residential units, authorities said, and no foul play was suspected. Authorities said plumbers were working on a boiler in the basement and that "may have had something to do with it." Students were evacuated from the eight-story Apex Technical School adjoining the building where authorities said the explosion occurred. Streets in the area around 19th Street and Sixth Avenue were closed to traffic.
