Hoboken Gas Tank Explodes In Massive Fire
A gas works yard near Hoboken ruptured triggering a colossal blaze that darkened the night. The largest tank, a hundred thirty feet tall and eighty feet wide, fed flames fifty feet high as boiler and steel fragments rained down. Firefighters battled the inferno for hours, evacuations followed, and despite fear of further explosions, oil and naphtha were controlled with water streams. The incident caused about fifty thousand dollars in damage and disrupted gas supply to Hoboken and neighboring towns.
