A massive, fiery explosion at a house in Queens sent several New York City police officers flying through the air early Thursday morning as authorities were responding to a call of a man inside armed with a knife and the smell of gas.
Eight officers were treated for minor injuries after the blast, and all of the people who were inside the building have been accounted for and several were taken to a hospital, police said.
