Rescuers using spotlights and cadaver dogs searched for survivors into Thursday morning after a thunderous blast in East Harlem killed six people and leveled two apartment buildings.

At least four women and two men died in the Wednesday morning explosion and collapse of 1644 and 1646 Park Ave.

More than 50 people were injured during the uptown horror that erupted into flames, clouds of dust and smoke, and a desperate search among the rubble of the five-story buildings. Those who weren’t injured were traumatized nonetheless.
