Just caught on the late news that a "speedboat" exploded today just off the beach on Hayling Island - looks like one or more jerrycans exploded from the remains held up as evidence, the can certainly looked to have exploded from within but that doesn't mean to say it was the first item to catch fire/explode. All 6 occupants smartly abandoned ship (3 to port and 3 to starboard going by the words of one of them!) and seemed uninjured. From the pictures you could tell it had a sterndrive but the rest of the boat forward of the transom was a mass of flame and smoke.
Interesting technique used by the Hayling Island lifeboat, they made two close runs past the burning vessel executing a smart turn away each time, each run sprayed wash over the boat such that on the second run it sank stern first.
Can't find anything about it on the news sites so far though....
