Fatal explosion at Fort Terry echoes Georgia flare back
Private George Hammond of United States coast artillery was killed and Sergeant Benjamin Waks wounded in a Mareback like explosion at Plum Island Fort Terry. Privates Joseph and John McChe brothers of Company K survived injuries in the blast that officials blame on overzealous rapid firing and improper handling of powder. Colonel Charles W. Parkhurst reports Hammond lost the time with the battery near Fort Mradfanl as a damp cloth ember caused a slow burn leading to the blast. Experts note the crew’s rush to set a record mirrors the Georgia accident, with safety lapses during a strained exercise at Fort Terry.
