: Anyone know if the cause of the boiler explosion at ST. Mary's Hospital in Passaic City, NJ has been determined? From the picture I have seen it looks like a Cleaver Brooks boiler has removed itself from the building. I had always considered these boilers very forgiving, even at 2:30am when this unusual event occurred.
Looking at the pic it would be hard to say that it was a water side issue. I would guess a combustion fire side explosion blew the back door off and shot the boiler forward.
