One dead and two left injured after boat explodes on Hudson River during NYC Fleet Week
A WORKER was killed and two others injured when a sewage barge exploded on the Hudson River during New York City's Fleet Week. The blast erupted around 10.30am Saturday on a Department of Environmental Protection vessel docked near West 138th Street in Manhattan, officials said. 1 The barge — which was transporting raw sewage to the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant — suddenly blew up, sending a 59-year-old man flying into the river. 'Officials arrived at the scene to find a large explosion had ripped through the ship's hull,' NYPD said. The worker, who was welding the hull at the time of the explosion, became trapped between the vessel and the dock and later died of his injuries. It is not yet clear whether the fatal wounds were caused by the blast itself or the impact after he was thrown into the water. .
