Lucky Man Survives NYC Sidewalk Explosion

An underground explosion engulfed a Queens sidewalk, sending flames shooting several feet into the air and injuring a man who happened to be standing on the grate at the precise wrong moment.

It's reported that the man suffered second-degree burns but is in good spirits while recovering at a local medical center. Video of the incident is pretty crazy and can be seen below.
