A yacht with 21 people on board has exploded off the coast of New Jersey.

The name of the boat is "Blind Date". This is said to happen 17 miles right off my coast (yes I'm from New Jersey, USA). I watched an aerial video clip and by the looks of it they have a lot of assets on the dock waiting for the injured. I counted several helicopters, a dozen ambulances and a host of other emergency vehicles. Hopefully everyone is ok.
 
Blind date ( all of them) are very well known. If it try went down the crew forums would be full of it and I can't find anything at the moment. Then again it's not unusual for the odd superyacht to sink nowadays ..
 
How horrendous. I really hope they catch whoever made the call and throw the book at him/her.
Imagine the future scenario when all emergency calls have to be verified before action is taken. :eek:
