Two men are seen narrowly escaping a burning boat in a clip that has now gone viral, according to The New York Post. ABC 11 captured the 21-foot Baja going up in smoke.
“It’s too late, guys! It’s too late!” passing boater Nathan Greenwood yells at the pair who initially appear confused as to how to respond.
“Get off the boat! It’s gonna blow!” Greenwood shouts, as his wife also yells: “Jump out right now!”
From The New York Post:
With flames completely covering the passenger area — seemingly reaching the pair inside — the two boaters eventually haul themselves over the side and into the water.
“Within three seconds of them jumping off of the boat, it exploded” and later sank, Greenwood told ABC 11.
Greenwood said it was pure luck that he and his wife were there to shout warnings and then scoop up the unidentified boaters from the water.
“Whimsically, I decided to go out on a boat ride. We have our office right on the water there. It was a beautiful day, don’t normally do that. So it’s just very coincidental,” Nathan told UpNorthLive.com.
