$24M yacht destroyed in fire

A huge fire that destroyed a $24 million luxury yacht whilst it was in a boat yard was filmed by a passing drone camera and posted online.

The yacht, named ‘Polar Bear’ was owned by retired electrical engineer Larry Jodsass, 79, told NBC San Diego that he cried when he saw the video online.

Around 100 workers fled the marina, including one person who was treated in hostipal for smoke inhalation.

Unconfirmed reports claimed the yacht caught fire in a welding accident.

Roll got it all on his flying camera. He posted the footage on YouTube, writing: “I was filming a friend’s boat in South Bay close by, when we saw the smoke coming from the Marine Group’s yard.

“This was fascinating to watch through my monitor, but having a boat myself I couldn’t help thinking of how horrible it would be to have your dream boat go up in flames. I’m sure the insurance will replace it, but wow what a bummer and a hassle.”
