Season five saw the return of Superyacht captain Sandy Yawn who has over 30 years of experience in the field.
“We were drifting in hostile waters, it wasn’t easy. I even had one crew member try and jump over board during the fire and I just told them ‘I’ve called a warship to come and rescue us.’”

They can range from tiny fractures to much larger holes that are hundreds of meters high and miles wide. CNET noted that if they happen to be near something like an oil field, they could be mixed into oil and natural gas systems. When they erupt, the oil and gas spew into the sky with the mud. It’s not clear how they could ignite, but the pressure change or even sparks created by rocks smashing into each other during an eruption could have a part to play. more
He also noted that there were other reports that said it could have been a fire from a rig or platform. He pointed out that many didn’t think a mud volcano could cause a fire, but Tingay shared a video of one back in 2019 sending up fire. He shared another tweet that had footage of the blast and noted that the fireball was clearly visible on the horizon. here
The fire eventually reached the shore and people started realizing this and panicking. You can see the smoke engulfing the palm trees as the fire moves onto the shore. The video ended with the fire moving in on the trees–I am not sure if the trees caught on fire or if the fire was put out. Browsing the comment section of that particular YouTube video, there were many theories as to how this happened. Some thought it was God, while someone said it was probably an NNPC pipe with petroleum inside of it. The prevailing guess seems to be that an underwater pipeline blew up.
“There have been no accidents on offshore platforms and industrial facilities under the direct control of SOCAR, and work is continuing normally,” Ibrahim Ahmadov, deputy head of SOCAR’s public relations and events department, told the APA. more
Following the incident, Fisker had this to say: more
“It was reported today that several Fisker Karmas were damaged by fire at the Port of Newark after being submerged in sea water during Superstorm Sandy. We can report that there were no injuries and none of the cars were being charged at the time. here
It is still a mystery why these luxurious EV barges are so prone to catching fire, as they are built with the best materials, in a highly-advanced car plant, in Finland, and the Finns don`t mess around with safety. Perhaps it’s the battery pack which shorted when it came in contact with the water, though they are usually designed to withstand flooding, as well as fires, as is the battery pack of the Nissan Leaf, which proved itself safe in a massive fire.
If the number 16 proves accurate, then the total damages will amount to at least $1.6-million. Also, 16 prospective Karma owners will have to wait for another car to get built for them, a long and painstaking process, as the car is not really ‘mass produced’. more
