09/10/2009: "KaBOOM! Gas Explosion Pops Boat’s Seams At RH"

After a Bayliner gassed up at the Roche Harbor dock, there was a sudden explosion. The internal impact pushed the seams and joint open and the boat began to take on water. The owner received some glass fragments, but other that that, all involved escaped without serious injuries.

Sheriff Bill Cumming said the Roche Harbor crew at the docks quickly reacted both to the explosions and to action to keep the boat from sinking by moving it to a trailer and hauling ashore.

Cumming said the cause and reason for the accident is under investigation.
