A natural explanation for strange explosion at Salty Brine Beach ?

  

  I  thought there was a natural explanation for the strange explosion at Salty Brine beach . Hydrogen released by a corroding underground copper cable reacting with salt water sounds quite plausible. But after watching a hydrogen gas experiment on You Tube ( see " The Periodic Table of Videos " , hydrogen ) I question that " a hydrogen explosion would generate no flames or heat ". Recall the famous German Zeppelin Hindenburg disaster in 1939 ? Also we have seen a few hydrogen bomb experiments. Can hydrogen " explode " less dramatically -without oxygen ?
Just a footnote to Salty Brine Beach. They just had the colorful " Blessing of the Fleet " there. Why did they change the name of Galilee Beach- a beautiful Biblical name - to honor a radio celebrity- the man of a million commercials and " No school in Foster-Glouster " ? They could have named the Rhode Island Mall after the Old Salt.

• A plausible explanation for Salty Brine Beach explosion ?

         

Vistors to Rhode Island warned by Radical Ron !

Welcome to Rhode Island

Rhode Island should clean up its act in more ways than one. It could be a physically beautifully state-and still is in scattered places. To be sure, in the capital city of Providence visitors should not be greeted with visible trash, and disgusting cigarette butts on the sidewalks and the streets. Never picked up trash even at our ballyhooed state beaches.

Half the restaurants here are less than mediocre with shabby and rude "service". Also hygiene challenged.

Too many over- advertised restaurants are not so great--legends in their own minds. Too many fast food joints are clueless about rest room standards.

One still good pizzeria on Federal Hill was, in fact, a lot better years ago. I suspect they cheapened the dough--in order to save dough. And the coffee everywhere is getting suspiciously weaker without getting any cheaper. But it can be "fixed" for that right caffeine rush for an extra buck (Expresso!)

And don't expect that they will just give you napkins -- or even the right change!

WELCOME TO THE STATE OF RHODE AND PROVIDENCE PLANTATIONS - equal opportunity slavery for all permanent residents.

Visitors, don't say Radical Ron didn't warn you!
