A hydrothermal explosion at Yellowstone National Park damages boardwalk and sent debris soaring several stories into the air.

The explosion originated from the Black Diamond Pool in Biscuit Basin, with an average temperature of 148.5 °F.

Biscuit basin had occurrences like these back in May 2009 and a smaller one on April 15 in Norris Geyser Basin.

A hydrothermal explosion large enough to create a 328-foot-wide crater might be expected every few hundred years, officials said.

The officials closed the parking and boardwalks of Biscuit Basin temporarily and provided no further information as of now.
