Rimmer Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Launch boat catches fire during International Fireworks Show The fireworks got out of control on one of the launch boats, with a fire that required emergency personnel to extinguish. Sparks from the falling pyrotechnics onto fuel supplies are believed to have set off the blaze on the barge from which the display for the International Fireworks Show were launched in Pattaya Bay Dec. 1. Fireboats responded quickly and the fire was quickly extinguished. No one was injured and the boat sustained minimal damage. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-12-6-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torturedsole Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I don't know which is the lesser evil - staying on board the stricken vessel or diving into the sewer that is Pattaya Bay. Tricky one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The more intelligent option would have been to use a steel barge, none combustible and no fuel. Bet there again that would not stop them sinking it if they placed the rockets upside down... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
