Three dead as yacht catches fire in Italy

 

 

LOANO: -- Three Germans have died after a yacht moored in Italy caught fire.

 

A 51-year-old woman survived the blaze by diving into the water, but her sister, husband, and brother-in-law did not survive.

 

The survivor, who is recovering in hospital, was said to be in good condition but suffering from shock.

 

The victims were trapped in the cabin of the yacht after the fire broke out and fire fighters were unable to reach them.

 

The boat was moored at Loano in the region of Liguria.

 

The cause of the blaze has not yet been confirmed.

Why don,t they build yachts and cabin cruisers with fire escapes at each end ? Simple and inexpensive I would think :)

Every yacht I have been on has had a forward hatch, which I assumed was there for exactly that reason.
