“Car explosion/fire in lot between 306 Evarts and 315 Franklin tonight. Too shaken to get good footage. Huge boom (shook us up) followed by pops and billowing black smoke.
Saw someone walking down Evarts toward 3rd after the first boom with a gas can.”
Thanks to A and J for sending from Logan.
“There is nothing of value in this car. Only restaurant supplies + broken dreams. All junk! Plz don’t break the window.”
Thanks to Michele for sending from Columbia Heights.
