Flying Cylinder Blasts Hole in Jersey City Home: Prosecutors

What sounded like a massive explosion in Jersey City turned out to be a six-foot cylinder projectile shot into a home. Brian Thompson reports.

Police are trying to determine what caused a 6-foot-long cylinder to shoot into a New Jersey duplex on Friday.

Arson investigators are trying to determine why the cylinder blasted into the home on Western Avenue in Jersey City from a scrap yard nearby on County Avenue. 

Luckily, no one was hurt when the cylinder pierced the back wall of the home, according to authorities.

The investigation is ongoing.
