One person died after an explosion occurred in a boat parked on the Hudson River in New York, USA. The authorities gave this information. David Sims, Deputy Assistant Head of the city’s fire department, said that the incident took place at the ‘Hunt Point’ boat near the ‘North River Westwater Treatment Plant’ at around 10:30 am on Saturday morning.
Maljal was being carried through the boat. He said that an injured employee has been admitted to the hospital and another employee in the boat has refused to undergo treatment.
The cause of the explosion is being investigated, but New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that it was less suspicious that it was a criminal incident. The American Coast Guard told on social media that the explosion occurred when the people on the boat were working with fire or spark.
New York Police said that the rescue team, who arrived on the spot, found a 59 -year -old man in the river unconscious and was later declared dead. The deceased was an employee of the city’s Environmental Protection Department but his identity has not been made public.
