Heard it also, but didn't hear of any fatalities, just that people jumped ship.

Pasted from the link you provided about the yacht (great link):

Materials
Hull: Aluminium
Superstructure: Aluminium
Decks: Teak

According to channel six (ABC Philadephia), everyone abandoned ship, must have been a helluva explosion and fire. I have not yet seen any pictures of the burning yacht, according to the news report everyone is accounted for, is that still accurate?

I dunno but it's starting to seem like a hoax. No debris or anything, people can call but can't be found? Odd

Where do you hide a vessel like this, and keep all 20+ people from talking?
