Crazy loud boom at 5:30 am this morning

Anyone else hear a very loud boom at 5:30am around 5th ave at St John's this morning. It sounded like someone dropped a stick of dynamite in a storm drain, set off car alarms all down the street?

I heard it too, and I'm on Sterling and 5th. I figured it was maybe the garbage trucks or something, but if it was that far away and that loud...

You guys really need to chill out.... that was just me on my way home from J's 5th... you know, bringing the noise/bringning the funk -- puking on the sidewalk..

Could've been a manhole cover exploding. I heard one blow a few years ago after a heavy rain. It happened about a block away from my house at around midnight -- within about 60 seconds, all the neighbors were in front of their houses, mostly in various forms of nightclothes, trying to figure out whether it was Al Qaeda, a North Korean nuke, or the Rapture. The boom set off a whole chorus of car alarms, and the cover smashed a parked car. Some kind of fire also ensued -- I could smell the smoke and there were FDNY trucks all over the place, but I didn't feel like going into the battle zone in my jammies to investigate further.
