Emerging from the rubble: When an explosion in Harlem collapsed two buildings yesterday, Collin Patterson was in one of them. He worked at a piano shop there. The blast was so intense, that it made the pianos fly up from the floor, then rubble crashed down around Patterson. But he crawled out alive, miraculously. At least six others weren’t as fortunate. They died. And police are still searching for nine more people who are missing.
