You would think that this was newsworthy...at least for the effected network.

This report has been for over an hour now.

Either the report is premature and therefore, mischaracterizes what actually occurred or, FOX executives are out of harm's way, and found the situation didn't warrant informing the anchors in the studio.

Rudy Giuliani was seen rushing to the "command center" outside FAUX Headquarters from where he directed the evacuation procedures.

Expect Rudy to self-promote himself as the "Hero of 12/17"

12/17! It's why we fight!!!!

Sounds like some of their toxic slime must've exploded.

Either that, or Roger Ailes has some gas after eating his super-size beany burrito.

(AHN) - A chemical explosion has been reported at the FOX News Headquarters in New York.

According to a fire official, the explosion occurred on the 45th floor. The floor housed mechanical rooms. The explosion left one person injured. Officials have confirmed that the one person injured has been transported to the hospital.

As it stands, four floors have been evacuated. There has been no disruption to any FOX news broadcasts as the four evacuated floors do not house FOX news employees.

*maybe it was where O'Reilly had his methamphetamine lab hidden*

No less than 743 "secular liberal" terrorist groups, claimed responsibility and called this courageous action an opening salvo in the so-called "War on Christmas."

A "chemical explosion"??? I think we just found Saddam's missing WMDs. They were hidden in Bill O'Reilly's ass all along!

Small Explosion in Midtown: One Injured

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fire officials say a chemical reaction caused a small explosion in the skyscraper that houses Fox News. One person has been injured.

The fire department says the 10:39 a.m. incident at 1211 Avenue of the Americas occurred on the 45th floor, which houses the heating and cooling systems and other utilities for the 47-story building.

There are no offices on that floor, or on the three floors above. All three floors have been evacuated.

Fire spokesman Jim Long says: ``We have some sort of reaction between two chemicals that caused a slight explosion.'' The chemicals are unknown at this time.

One person suffered lacerations to the head. Fox News is housed in the basement of the building."

Now the big question: which one of them had the illegal meth lab?

It was the same "terrorist element" that started the wildfires in California.

Too bad the entire building wasn't taken out.
