[burntheships]

Rhode Island officials said they are "leaving no stone unturned" as they try to unravel the mystery behind a beach explosion that injured a woman over the weekend.

However, there was no new information that would cause officials to deem the beach unsafe, according to Janet Coit, director of the Rhode Island department of environmental management, ABC's Rhode Island affiliate WLNE reported after a Tuesday press conference.

Some people said it sounded like a sonic boom. 

I had read one article that speculated on the use of some type of an

Interesting....they still have no explanation.
