New York Police said that the first respondents found a 59 -year -old man who was conscious in the river.
The man was a long time employee in the city’s Ministry of Environmental Protection. His name was not launched, but the mayor said that “a loyal government employee has provided 33 years of service to New York City, and our hearts go out to his family, friends and colleagues during this painful time.”
Sims said that the explosion spread raw sewage on the roof of the boat, and the vaccination of firefighters and other respondents had to be removed. DEP said that no environmental effects appear after the explosion.
