Remember May 19, 1950 Thirty one killed in NJ, 350 injured
http://nhlabornews.com/2015/05/may-19-1950/
Thirty-one workers are killed and more than 350 others are injured when ammunition and explosives being loaded without a permit onto barge explode at the Pennsylvania Railroad piers on the Raritan River in South Amboy in what would be one of New Jersey’s worst disasters. The force of the blast was felt 30 miles away.
