Business Partner's Yacht Blows Up
 

Apparently he was fueling his yacht in the harbor, and it exploded. He and his girlfriend were both badly burned.

Talk about a fucking devastating wake up call.

:Oh crap

I am in complete shock. :(

hope they get well soon

Sorry to hear that....hope them to get better soon!

Thanks guys.

I am just completely fucking stunned.

I started getting e-mails and phone calls from the models this morning asking me about him, but I had not heard anything about the accident. I had not talked to him since Friday (the last shoot) or Sat about something else..

But apparently he, and his gf and kid were all out on his yacht. It blew up while refueling. He is ALWAYS out there on that thing in the summer. But I guess the gf face and arms were badly burned, and he was lite up and got the worst of it.

Tried calling, but nothing. So talked to a few others, and apparently it's questionable if he'll make it right now.

I am a cross between crying, and just complete shock.
:(

Im so sorry to hear that BF. Any report on their condition yet? :(

Nm posted before I saw your last post. Here if you need to talk.

Critical condition...

Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.

The term "vital signs" means indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration. The one-word descriptions are not medical terms, and they are more art than science. They're based on a doctor's best judgment of a patient's condition, as relayed to hospital spokespersons.

Thanks man. I really appreciate it.

Holy shit bro, that looks horrible. Hope they both get well soon! Must be hard for the kid too :(

My sisters house caught a fairly big fire a while back, got me brain fucked up for weeks. I can't imagine what my sister felt like.

Very, very sorry about their situation.

As the son of a Coast Guard Commander I well remember my fathers constant reminders of the dangers fumes pose while starting/refueling.

Damn man. that sucks ass.

I heard from one of his other business partner's the kid, the gf's anyway, was ok. Just some scratches. So that's good. I met him (and the gf) a few weeks ago while he was helping with one of business partner's properties.

Wow, that is insane how a boat can go up in flames like that, especially with your kids on board. I wish him the best.

I have never owned a boat, but all my friends do. I own/have owned only jetski's over the years. I fill them up at the pump on way to lake.


Yeah. I have heard some of the stories about making sure things are 'grounded' with boats. Something about static electricity?

gas is very dangerous stuff hope they get well soon

That's crazy man... they'll have some good stories to tell though!

Too bad you weren't on that boat, asshole.

WTF? ......

Yeah.

Of all the people, especially as much as he is on that boat, and around boats (he has a speed boat, pontoon, and the 44' yacht) that he would be involved in something like this. I mean, there are no guarantees in life, especially with gasoline.

But fucking damn..

And gas fumes.

If I ever see you in person remind me to pull my foot back out of your ass. :321GFY

omg.. it's like waking up from a very bad nightmare if that happens to one of my buds.. just sad.

I will.

Right after you get 12 .45 acp rounds dug out of you by the coroner.

That would about summarize it.

Morning was going fine. Good night's sleep. Niece well behaved this morning. All good as I dropped her off at daycare. Then I get home, e-mails and phone ringing with this madness.

Kinda like being blindsided.

Just really a mix of being numb, emotion, sadness, fear, uncertainty...

Rut roh scary.... :uhoh

Wow.. sorry to hear that

Im so sorry, I hope they all recover from this terrible accident.

BF hope all works out for the best.. not really sure what to say.. WOW just fucked up man

Yeah. A real scary board troll. :disgust

Thanks man.

I appreciate the well wishes friend.

Thanks man.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Very sorry to hear that :( Will be sending good vibes their and your way

Wow, best wishes ona speedy recovery for him and his family!

That's crazy, hope they get well soon

Wow, that's crazy!

Hey BF I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully him and his family pull thru.

Watching the video now. Unbelievable ;(

Wow! How horrible! Not only for them, but for their families too.

Fingers crossed that they come out of it ok.

MANY MANY people in "critical condition" survive..
I've had several people in that condition make it..
My grandfather had a 20% chance and made it before.
The doctors came out and pretty much told us "he is going to die".
My father has had "life threatening cancer" SEVEN TIMES and he's FINE

The guy has alot to live for, and, that MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.. so he has a very good chance, I am sure.. Hang in there, man

You are on very thin ice. One and only warning!
