Officials from the State Department of Environmental Management held a news conference today to discuss the cause of the July 11th beach blast that injured a 60-year-old woman from Connecticut.

After much investigating, they believe that the cause was a buildup of hydrogen gas in the sand, caused by the corrosion of an abandoned copper cable.
