Cause of Pier Blast Traced
New York City officials report the Brooklyn pier explosion that killed 16 may have been caused by 18.5 tons of detonating fuses stored on the pier. Fire Commissioner Edward F. Cavanagh Jr. said the recovered waterlogged bill of lading from Luckenbach Pier revealed the fuses used in dynamite work. The blast fractured the pier’s reinforced concrete bed and hurled steel beams blocks away, leaving a large harbor crater as investigators pursue the source of the disaster.
