A major blaze has broken out at a commercial and residential block in New York's East Village following a possible explosion and building collapse.
At least one person in a critical condition has been taken to hospital and more than 130 firefighters are on the scene battling to control the raging flames.
The entire building is engulfed in flames and the lower two floors appear to be partially collapsed.
