Grounding of oil barge near Matunuck Beach rattles Rhode Island
A single hull barge carrying 4 million gallons of heating oil ran aground off Matunuck Beach after a tugboat explosion forced the six crew to dive into 20 foot surf. The Coast Guard rescued all six, one by helicopter in 60 mph winds as the tug Scandia burned nearby. The barge began breaking apart later while waves battered it for hours.
