City Island Boat Yard Fire
"Lloyd Bonafide" wrote in message ... It was started by a faulty DLP projector installation in the yacht house during a viewing of the movie "Through Dead Eyes". Fortunately, the sleeping camera operator was the only one in attendance and he escaped with minor injuries. The fire quickly spread but would have been contained if not for igniting the gas tank of a Subaru Tribeca. The ensuing fireball enveloped surrounding boats in the yard. The communications equipment of the fire department was jammed by defective hull moisture detector that was left on by an unlicensed Marine Surveyor. One fireman suffered electrocution when a portable defibrillator aboard a boat he was extinguishing was set off. This one boat took several hours to extinguish due to the large amount of XXXL nylon woman's undergarments and child pornography discovered aboard the boat. Fireman commented that the flames would have been much worse if there were actual sails aboard. Further down the line, a Pearson 28 exploded when flames reached the Atomic 4 engine. When the nameplate of the Atomic 4 landed near the fire marshall, he picked it up and called in homeland security. Boat yard fire fighting equipment was not stowed in its proper place. Apparently, it had been used to create a mud wrestling pit for a low grade titallation movie involving Russian women. The entire conflagration was filmed by a crew from Skorpio Productions, who happened to be on site filming a feature film for a high, but undislosed fee. A damage assessment given by the unlicensed Marine Surveyor concluded, "The damage is estimated to be worth about three times my coin collection but not quite as much as my two Subarus and three rental apartments. The fire was quite tragic, but Thomas squealed with surprise every time a fireball erupted." Lloyd Bonafide Now that's funny. LOL. Max |
