Whoa! A massive fire and two BIG BOOMS shook a NYC shipyard Friday! 🚨
People called 911 at 3:30 PM saying smoke was filling the air and workers were trapped in the basement. Firefighters arrived in just 6 minutes—but then... KABOOM! A second explosion hit them hard.
36 people got hurt (mostly firefighters and first responders). One civilian sadly died. The most serious injuries were to a firefighter and fire marshal who got blasted by the shockwave.
The fire marshal has a broken skull but is stable. The firefighter is being checked for muscle damage. By Friday night, 200 firefighters kept the fire under control while investigators searched for answers.
Remember: Confined spaces like shipyard basements are SUPER DANGEROUS. First responders always wear special gear for this!
We're cheering for all the brave firefighters who kept our community safe—especially those who risked their lives!}
