Workers who were killed in wastewater activity on the Hudson River before Manhattan

A worker was found dead on Saturday, and two more were injured in an explosion on board a boat in the Hudson River, the raw water transported to a treatment plant, according to the authorities.

Men on the boat made work with a flame or spark when the explosion took place, the US coast G. Uard said on social media.

The FDNY identified the boat as the New York motor ship hunt plays.

The call to the FDNY came at 10:33 a.m. for a rescue and water rescue of boots and water near the 12th Avenue and the West 135th Street in Manhattan and drew 12 units and 60 firefighters and doctors, wrote the FDNY press office in an e -mail. Marine and hazmat teams were also on site.

The injured men were brought to hospitals, said the FDNY.

All three victims were employed for the company's operation, said the deputy deputy boss David Simms. The deceased victim was blown by the power of the explosion between the pier and the ship and had to be reflected, said Simms.

The NYPD said the dead man was 59 years old, but they have not released his name.

The explosion occurred near the North River wastewater treatment plant. Simms said it is being examined.

The late man worked for the city's Department of Environmental Protection, the tasks of which, according to a prepared declaration by the Mayor Eric Adam's office, contain the treatment of wastewater.

“I am devastated to hear about the tragic death of a committed environment of environmental protection who has lost his life today when he worked on a boat in one of the sewage resources in our city,” said Adams.

The explosion had no influence on the facility, the explanation says, and no crime was suspected.

Simms said that all FDNY responders had to be decontaminated due to the raw water.
