Lyndhurst, New Jersey - Kingsland Explosion of 1917 Smokestack of the Canadian Car Foundry Co. Ltd is all that is left from the Kingsland (now Lyndhurst) explosion of 1917. [Phil Smith, 10/24/2004][RA: The munitions plant fire broke out on January 11, 1917, and completely destroyed the buildings on the site. A plaque tells the story of Theresa "Tessie" McNamara, Heroine of the Explosion. The oddest thing about this place is that it's in the middle of a corporate office park.]
