Blast Leaves Behind Mysterious Crater On Fox Island

Across Long Island’s South Shore communities, the conversation is all about the 4-foot wide, 2-foot deep crater created by an illegal explosion on an undeveloped island off Lindenhurst, accessible only by boat. CBS2's Jennifer McLogan reports.

This was a detonation test, it’s not kids playing. Wake up America.

I live a few towns over from Lindenhurst and this shook my entire house. I thought a car crashed into my home

Sorry, had Taco Bell for lunch and couldn't find a bathroom. Can someone please tell the ISS I'm at the side door, it's cold up here.

Lol

[@beerleaguer2]

Not sure how they lost the boat. I heard the explosion and I opened the police scanner app on my phone. The SCPD helicopter saw a boat leaving the area and was following it. Coast Guard was out there as well.

Maybe they talked to the people on the boat and the matter is closed. "You guys pull a stunt like that again you will be arrested".

We used to party there, throw an empty keg on the fire getaway and wait for the blast!

Did they do a residue test of the soil? Boom mystery solved…

[@pawel5280]

And they used a lot of it, to displace so much wet sand.
