It was a transformer explosion at the ConEd plant across the river. At least it looked that way to me. Immediately after the noise, I saw a plume of smoke rising from the north side of the plant, which was followed by FDNY showing up there several minutes later.
Agreed - transformer failure. Our apartment is right across from the transformer farm on the Queens side, and the transformer failed with a SPECTACULAR bright blue arc that seemed to reach 10-20 feet into the sky.
Unfortunately, I didn't think of grabbing my camera...
