Quote: "At least five people were killed when a boat carrying nearly 200 people caught fire in Indonesia, rescuers said Saturday."

Quote: "The 'Mutiara Sentosa 1' with 178 persons on board caught fire in the Java Sea near Masalembu island, halfway between Macassar and Surabaya, in the afternoon of May 19, 2017. The ferry was en route from Surabaya to Macassar. The ship was dead in the water seven miles off the Eastern coast of Masalembu near 05 33S 114 34E. There were 44 crew members and 134 passengers on board. The master ordered an evacuation. The passengers and crew went into life boats and rafts."

Quote: "The Mutiara was under way from Java to Balikpapan, Borneo when a fire broke out on her car deck. The crew made an attempt to put it out with the vessel's sprinkler system but it could not be extinguished. The master ultimately ordered the passengers and crew to abandon ship into the vessel's lifeboats."

Quote: "Nobody was injured in the fire that was reported about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, according Grand Haven Public Safety Director Jeff Hawke. The first boat was fully involved in fire when firefighters arrived and strong winds out of the east caused the fire to spread quickly, igniting two other boats, Hawke said. The fires were extinguished by about 2:30 a.m., he said. The next boat, a 46.6-foot Bertram Sportfish, sustained extensive heat and water damage. Owner Bob Brown of Williamston said he believed that boat would be considered a total loss."

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/two-sisters-burned-in-flash-fire-at-commerce-city-home

Quote: "Xcel Energy is working with the investigation to find a cause and there are signs that it was something similar to methane gas, which can occur naturally from decomposition and other outlets. Traces of the gas are limited to immediately around the property. Tests have shown there is no gas line leak. Vincel said there is no crime or malicious activity tied to the explosion, nor are nearby homes in any danger."

Quote: "Fire investigators and Xcel Energy crews are at a duplex in Commerce City after an explosion and fire sent two girls to the hospital. The girls, whose ages are 15 and 11, were rushed to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora after the blast. Their mother and father were home when the blast happened. They were not injured. Neighbors told CBS4 the girls were seriously burned. 'I saw the girls who had skin hanging off of their arms,' Randy Martinez, a neighbor, said."

Note: Just some methane getting into a home, exploding and burning the skin off some girls, nothing weird about that! This is the 162nd residential explosion in 2017...
