I just watched the video.It came loose and was drifting toward the other side of the inlet,a guy jumped in his boat and shoved it back toward the dock while it was burning!
It has now sank..

Wow... Just wow... I live on the lake, but I can't say I heard an explosion yesterday. It is a good thing that the graduation party was off of the boat when this happened. It is unfortunate what happened to that young man... I hope they find him to bring some closure for his family.
