What Caused Fort Lauderdale Boat Explosion on Memorial Day? Investigators Reveal Possible Cause.

Investigators have revealed the possible cause for a Memorial Day boat explosion on the Intracoastal waters near the Lauderdale Yacht Club that killed one person — the igniting of fuel vapors.

The possible cause was revealed to reporters with WSVN by investigators in an article relaying the recorded 911 calls from panicked witnesses on the day of the explosion.

“A boat just, like, exploded, I don’t know, people just flew off the boat,” one caller told emergency responders. “Everyone’s jumping in the water. I’m watching a boat that I think just exploded, or, I think just caught on fire. I’m not sure what’s going on, there was a loud explosion, now a couple people are back on the boat.”

What Sarasota Police Didn’t Find on Out-of-Control Boat Raises Concerns on Important Safety Issue in Florida.

By Leesfield & Partners

Police in Sarasota chased down a speeding and out of control boat this week, but there was no operator on board to be chastised.

That is because the vessel’s operator, who was not wearing the skill switch, had been tossed off when a wake hit. As a result, the man was thrown into the water without a life jacket as his vessel sped off without him at 40 mph. When the vessel’s operator was thrown off, he broke two fingers but was otherwise uninjured, according to reporting from Fox News.

Luckily, officers with the Sarasota Police Department’s Marine Patrol were able to catch up with the vessel, hop on and shut it off before anyone else was injured.
