Yikes, that was close. I live here in Seattle and didn't catch that on any local news, thanks for sharing.

Wow...see how the instant he opened the canopy and fresh oxygen entered the vapors blew the sponson open. That could have ended badly. That guy was lucky.

I think that guy is a girl.

Yes, SHE is, and a very talented driver! I hope they can get her boat repaired for the upcoming season. Good luck, Kayleigh!

My bad. Point taken. It's hard to tell with a suit on. :o

Yep,
She's a lucky lady.

I noticed that, too. Fires do love oxygen.

The accompanying story said the "damage and injuries could have been worse" but didn't mention that she'd been injured, much less the extent of her injuries. Did I miss something?

Regardless, she escaped. Machines can be replaced.
