Explosion Rocks Hoboken's Historic Warehouse Row
Hoboken, NJ - At approximately 2:00 pm local time yesterday, according to police and fire department officials, an explosion leveled a warehouse at 54E Frank Sinatra Drive and damaged several ajacent properties. One of the numerous industrial and storage buildings just a stone's throw from Frank Sinatra Park, the warehouse in question was under rent to one Dr. Oswald N. Midas. Midas, a figure of some imfamy within the Talent scientific community and author of the book "All the Earth Shall Tremble: My Impossibly Brilliant Vision for a Future You Cannot Hope to Escape", could not be reached as of press time, and is feared to have perished in the blast. Officials have yet to announce their findings as to the cause of the blast, but the reckless exploration into questions best left unanswered, a practice for which Dr. Midas was known, is suspected to have been a contributing factor.
