Its amazing they were able to get the man on their boat considering his size.

Yes indeed, without a boat with a boarding ladder, it might have been impossible. He could not get in that panga. Only after a panguero dove in and
pushed from below were they able to get him into the larger vessel.
Here's the story link.

Wow. Nothing like hydrocarbons burning...
Was that guy smuggling something? Looked like his pants and shirt were stuffed to overflowing.

YIKES!!!.........Happens more often than you think...That person was very lucky to get off that vessel and rescued....That boat looks to be about a 25
footer or there abouts. Can you just immagine watching a 90 footer do the same thing..... I saw one go up in flames off Cambel River, Brtish Columbia
in 1979. Looked the same as this but was all over in less than 30 minets and down she went. Glug,glug,glug.

Yes, if you are careless and stupid your boat will burn just like a palapa.
OK no more fat jokes.

Had a saddle tank leak about 15 gallons of fuel in the bilge of a 23' boat once. 
No smoking zone. No bilge pump zone. No sparking of anything zone. A benzene
sniffers dream till the Coast Guard towed us in.
