The burst pipe at the AMC Theater on 84th and Broadway that we reported on this morning caused more damage than just a little flooding. It turns a light fixture in the lobby crashed to the flooded floor. It was caught on tape, and shown in the clip below.
You can hear screams and then someone says smartly “All right, let’s get outta here.”
A sprinkler apparently froze and burst, according to CBS. The theater was closed for six hours and customers could use their tickets at other AMC theaters.

Thank G-d no one was injured.
They were going for Phantom of the Opera scene. Glad everyone was okay esp because it was a holiday and the Oscars are almost here so lots of movie goers.
So water is pouring through the roof and management still allows customers inside? Sure we’ll just tape that area off. Real bright.
As I’m sure someone here from the local intelligentsia will soon point out, this would have never happened before DeBlasio was Mayor!
i wish there was a “laugh” button on this site…
nothing you say is even remotely funny
Was “Waterworld” playing?
If “Waterworld” was playing, then the theatre would have been empty…..
😉
OMG, we were just there today, I had no idea this had happened just a few days ago!!! Glad nobody was hurt and that they are up and running. Was there today, you’d never know that this happened!
