I think this topic would be closed if someone died, as respect.
The two people on board were taken off safely.
Vessel was the "Lynx Effect".
It has since sunk, as it burnt down to the warerline and the seas were a bit choppy today.
A person here was thrown in jail for making a false insurance claim, burned down his own multi-million dollar yacht.
This was an explosion seemingly caused by an on-board gas container leaking. Propane gas is heavier than air. If it leaks out, it sits in the bilges and waits for a spark.
The current supposition is that with the weather being so poor for some months, it's possible that this vessel hadn't been used for a while and that a leaky valve allowed the gas to seep out over that time. Possibly the blowers weren't switched on for long enough and therefore hadn't got all the propane out of the bilges. As the engines heated up, the gas expanded until it rose far enough to get to some part that had a spark.
