DEM: 'Hydrogen combustion' probable cause of beach explosion



Quote:
PROVIDENCE - The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management announced on Friday a probable cause of the recent explosion at Salty Brine Beach in Narragansett.


Officials noted that the culprit was “the combustion of a build-up of hydrogen gas in the beach sand, due to the corrosion of an abandoned copper cable that was previously used by the United States Coast Guard."
