New Huntington Bay Safety Measures in Place Following Last Year's Fourth of July Tragedy

Last year’s Fourth of July tragedy in Long Island’s Oyster Bay–in which a boat piled high with 27 people to watch the fireworks show overturned, killing three children–still looms large in the area. Oyster Bay’s fireworks show has been canceled this year, which means around 1,500 boats are expected in Huntington Bay to watch Asharoken’s display, and new security measures have been put into place. Pei-Sze Cheng reports.
