Every captains nightmare

How to turn a MY into an express cruiser into a center console in a couple hours. It's amazing what will burn & melt in that heat.

And it must have been anchored with chain I'd imagine so as not to float off from a burnt rode. Pity
 
That is sickening.
It's like looking at my 401K after a bad day...
 
My 401K is a 201K. A lot of that is my/our fault; not keeping eye on it. Problem is I'm retired; can take pluses & or minuses. Can't contribute !!
 
I don't understand why it did not sink and why the waterline essentially stayed the same. The water must have just been running of into the ocean instead of going below. Perhaps the crew was able to secure all below decks watertight doors before abandoning?
While I have not watched many video's like this, I think I have seen the weight of the water eventually sink the ship.
 
From what I understand there were three people on board. Two were saved but one died.

I have not heard that. Could you site please?

This is what I've heard:

"Local reports say 12 people were evacuated from the vessel on Monday, August 8, which is allegedly when she caught fire."

"Very thankful that the crew of 5 got everybody off the yacht."

"So another yacht fire this summer has occurred but thanks to good training, planning and the right amount of luck no body was killed."
 
According to the local Italian newspaper, the boat at the end sank to a depth of 71 meters with the body of the owner inside. The other two passengers ( a man and a woman) at the time of the explosion (there was an initial explosion) were actually in a dinghy far away from the boat.
The body of the 50 years old owner was recovered with the help of an underwater robot. The police is investigating the dynamic of this incident to find out why the explosion occured and why the two people were on the dinghy. The boat was a "Mochi Craft 44".

God Speed was NOT a Mochi Craft but a Westport... different accidents.
 
Sorry about the confusion although the case of the Mochi is much more interesting and intriguing.
