NEW YORK (WABC) -- One person is dead and two others are injured after an explosion took place onboard a sewage transport boat in the Hudson River.
The deadly explosion happened just after 10:30 a.m. on Saturday on a New York City-owned motor vessel named "Hunts Point."
Upon arrival, FDNY officials discovered that a large explosion occurred in one of the hulls on the boat. According to FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief David Simms, the vessel transports raw sewage from the city to the sewage treatment plant.
Two workers on the boat were injured and taken to local hospitals for treatment. A third worker, a 59-year-old man, was fatally blown by the force of the explosion in between the pier and the boat.
