During New York City's Fleet Week, a tragic incident occurred when an explosion on a boat docked in the Hudson River resulted in one death and two injuries. The explosion, which happened on May 24 near the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant, severely damaged the hull of the ship operated by the Department of Environmental Protection. Emergency responders arrived promptly, but a 59-year-old man died after being thrown into the water and trapped. The conditions of the two injured workers remain unknown, and an investigation is underway to ascertain the cause of the explosion.
The incident occurred at around 10:30 a.m. near the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant, with authorities confirming a large explosion on the ship.
The 59-year-old man was thrown into the water due to the explosion and sadly died after getting trapped between the boat and the pier.
