Alleged explosion. Could be a hantavirus cure.

Gilligan’s Island Theme (The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle) Lyrics
[Intro]
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip that started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship...

[Verse 1]
The mate was a mighty sailing man
The skipper brave and sure. I could not restrain myself.

The popular Miami attraction is a nude beach.

“Fifteen people rushed to hospital after ‘boat explosion’ near Miami nudist beach”

Must have been a sailboat if it had a boom.

Miami Herald reports that a survivor told them gas leak.

Note: I will stay away from the Herald in the future. 75% advertising, I got a very short report.

Haulover inlet is a great place to have a beer and watch people go out and in the inlet. Now you can watch flying people and fireworks too. Ya gotta love that.

If you get above fuel rich vapor LEL level the only way to safety is back below LEL. If you don’t clear the vapors by running the blower before providing a spark, you get flying people and fireworks. I wonder who the operator was and if he knew better but got in a hurry.

What you and I think about a “nude beach” is not who usually goes to a nude beach. The average individual that goes to a nude beach is someone that should not be nude.

Correct, and the proof is walking up and down Haulover beach, and Blind Creek beach.

The nude beach is on the north end of Haulover beach.
The sandbar is in the intracoastal waterway on the West side of A1A. They’re about 2 miles apart.

I’ve been there once. I saw one woman so far away she appeared to be an ant. Every fag that sauntered by eyed me like I was a fresh batch of cookies
