Boston ship blast kills seven and injures eighteen
Coast Guard investigators opened hearings in Boston to find the cause of the fire aboard the Norwegian freighter Black Falcon in the harbor. Seven men died and 18 were injured, many as they unloaded in an aft hold near the Army base. A firefighter crew also suffered burns.
