On Saturday, July 11, 2015 a mysterious explosion at Galilee's Salty Brine State Beach injured two people. This explosion was suspected to be caused by a reaction between an abandoned copper cable located under the sand and an unusually large quantity of hydrogen in that location. The blast was accompanied by a large bang which witnesses said sounded like a grenade. The blast was so strong that it sent 60 year old Kathleen Danise nearly 10 feet away, landing in a jetty of rocks. She suffered injuries including bruises and two fractured ribs. Source: CBS News |
