A plumber reportedly admitted to investigators that he tampered with the gas line that caused a deadly building explosion in the East Village. The NY Post reports the man says he rigged the upper gas system to heat the higher floors at 121 2nd Ave. He claims he was told to do it by the owner's son. The man could reportedly strike a deal with prosecutors to testify against the building's owner.
