Different boat. The burning boat is a shuttle of some sort, not the larger gambling boat.

My gosh that is scary. Talk about Smoke on the Water.

I pray all got off and that those injured are not severely-hurt.

Believe it was a shuttle to the larger ship. 50 people aboard, most got to shore on their own, many swimming. 15 to hospitals.

I was thinking the same thing.

Port Richey is home to the 20-year-old young man who won the Mega Millions jackpot.

When Suncruz used to run a gambling boat out of Key Largo, took the shuttle from the Holiday Inn at MM 99 at night.

Went up to the upper deck, they had the lights on and it attracted flying fish which in turn attracted about a hundred reef sharks, which were jumping out of the water in a frenzy to catch the flying fish.

It was unreal to see so many sharks in one place , so many teeth, and all of the retarded gamblers inside were oblivious, had no idea they were surrounded.

Could be the reason why they stopped running out to that area, anybody going into the water at night was definitely shark food.
