Boat fire and explosion, near Weirs channel

[webmaster]

The webcam overlooking the Flightcraft gas dock should have captured the whole event but the Youtube archive of that time period is still "processing". As soon as I get access to that footage I'll post the video.

I just read that it's the same guy who had his boat stolen last year and it was sunk on purpose. I couldn't find the thread, but I know one exists.

Interesting, the guy was complaining about it not being insured when it was stolen and sunk, and now it catches on fire. Either the guy has extremely bad luck or something is rotten in the State of Denmark.

Really? You honestly think the guy put himself and his family in harms way (via explosion) for a few grand in insurance money? Somebody could have easily been killed, his daughter was blown off the boat and he got a broken rib.

The boat wasn't worth enough to possibly catch a murder charge for killing your kid or anyone else in your family or even innocent bystanders.

Woodsy. I agree but the guy came off as being less than stable in the first instance. After representing hundreds of soldiers during my military career I’m a natural skeptic when situations like this arise.

No, of course I do not think he blew up his own boat with people on board. I think the person who stole and sank his boat last year sabotaged his boat this year.

It WAS the same guy.

I just wanted to post an update for anyone waiting for the webcam video.

When you stream live to Youtube it creates separate archive videos of past timeframes. It starts a new video whenever the live stream is interrupted and continues until the next interruption. Sometimes the videos are very short and sometimes they can be as long as a month or more.

The video segment that contains the fire video is over 3 weeks long. It takes about a minute for Youtube to process a minute of video so processing that segment could take several weeks.

I will keep monitoring it and as soon as I have access to the processed video I'll edit it and post the video of the entire incident.

Any updates on the video processing?

IMHO, sounds more like a case of the sunken boat last year, corrosion in electrical system problem this year starting a fire.

I had a Jet Ski that got semi sunk, a year later I was chasing non-stop electric problems. Its sat now for years near my garage, I gave up.

Yes, I like that theory. Similar to mine in that it connects the events, but less outlandish in that it does not require a psychopath.

Never forget to run that blower
