The Westhampton Air National Guard responded to a deadly ship explosion off the coast of Cape Cod Monday armed with medical supplies donated by Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. Also, the Canadian Coast Guard has diverted two warships with physician assistants aboard estimated to arrive after midnight.
The ship is expected to arrive in Portugal on Wednesday morning. According to USCG, the cause of the explosion is still unknown, but the resulting fire has been extinguished and the vessel's engines were unaffected by the incident.
