"Times Square Water Main Break Paralyzes Streets and Subways"

A major water main break flooded Times Square, causing streets and subways to be submerged. The water has been turned off and repairs have begun on the 20-inch pipe that broke, which was built over 100 years ago. While the intersection will likely remain closed for the day, only a small number of buildings are expected to lose water due to redundant water supplies. The 1 train remains suspended, but the 2 and 3 trains have been restored in the area. The cause of the break is still unknown.
