Lithium ion fire on board kills 34

As usual "The exact cause of the blaze has not been determined, but investigators believe it may have been sparked by lithium-ion batteries in devices plugged in to power strips to charge cell phones."




Sounds like a cheap and nasty powerbank rather than a fault with the boat's electrical systems.

The skipper sounds a bit of a cunt ! 30 people on your boat and you jump in and fuck off? No you don't !
