Keep Your Pants On

Yesterday’s power outage featured not only broken elevators and angsty financial district workers, but also flames leaping out of manhole covers and heroic personal sacrifice in the name of underwear:

Actor Torino Von Jones, 32, said he was filming a Fruit of the Loom commercial down the block at the time. “We were standing over there waiting for the camera cue when we heard a big explosion,” he said. “Flames came up taller than I am, and I’m 6 foot 2. “Naturally, when you hear an explosion, you think the worst,” Von Jones said. Nevertheless, he hurried back to work. “We’re Fruit of the Loom — we’ve got to make this commercial.”
