Thanks friend.
So far not looking good. Only family allowed to see him, and he's unconscious.
They are investigating more on the accident, and I can't believe people took all these pictures and submitted them. Kinda crazy. I guess the thought would never occur to me in a similar situation.

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Four people are recovering from a boat explosion in South Haven Monday morning.
It happened just before 2:00 Sunday afternoon on the Black River.
The fire quickly spread to several nearby boats, causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage.
Firefighters say a man, woman and child were on the boat when it exploded. Witnesses say they suffered serious burns.
Another man who was standing nearby also got hurt and went to the hospital with injuries.
One witness says the explosion was so strong the roof of the boat flew off and almost hit him. "All I heard was a loud noise and I saw the roof of the boat flying towards me and so I ran this way and something hit me in the back, shoved me towards my boat," said Steve Eberhard.
Several witnesses say the boat's owner was refueling when the explosion happened.
Firefighters aren't saying yet if that is what caused it, but they did say that refueling the boat where it was located is illegal.
