A few minutes before Manhattan read this over, an NYPD traffic portable came over CW3 reporting heavy black smoke coming out of Grand Central. And I believe Manhattan dispatcher relayed a message from Chief Leonard asking if they were evacuating the station and the status of the searches (no evacuations and they were working on searches).
