Cause of Dock Blast Mystery
A coast guard board reported the May explosion at South Amboy New Jersey remains of unknown exact cause. It found no sabotage evidence but did not rule it out, citing possible fault by Kilgore Manufacturing Co Westerville Ohio which produced anti-tank and anti-personnel mines involved in the disaster. The blast killed 31 and injured over 200 as 356 tons of mines and 45 tons of dynamite were loaded for overseas shipment. The most probable cause cited was accidental detonation due to loose packing or faulty assembly during handling in transit.
