One worker was killed and two others injured after a vessel that
transports sewage exploded on New York's Hudson River while it was docked
on Saturday, according to officials.
The explosion, near a wastewater treatment plant, was reportedly linked to
"hot work aboard a docked boat," the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement
on X.
The Coast Guard said it responded to the reported explosion around 10:30
a.m. local time.
The explosion occurred on a motorized city vessel named Hunts Point that transports raw sewage, New York Fire Department Deputy Assistant Chief
David Simms said at a press conference Saturday.
One person was killed by the force of the explosion between the pier and
the vessel itself, according to Simms. The cause of the explosion is under investigation by the Bureau of Fire.
The worker who was killed has not been publicly identified. A statement
from the New York City Department of Environmental Protection said he had worked for the agency for 33 years.
Another employee was taken to the hospital. A third refused medical
treatment at the scene.
The cause of the blast is being investigated, but New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement there is "no suspicion of criminality."
Adams' statement said: "I am devastated to hear about the tragic death of
a dedicated Department of Environmental Protection employee who lost his
life today while working on a boat at one of our city’s wastewater
resource recovery facilities. This devoted public servant gave 33 years of service to New York City, and our hearts go out to his family, friends,
and colleagues during this painful time."
All FDNY personnel at the incident had to be decontaminated, according to Simms.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
