Guess this is why you can't smoke while you fill up!! But WHY would you stand INSIDE the boat and do this?!?

Paul Cosgrove Holy shit he lived

Michael Johnston That's what I thought mate .. gas fridges and petrol boats don't mix gasp emoticon

Shane Banjovi Johnson This was a training exercise that went wrong. Had been done loads of times without incident but on this occasion a series of events led to this happening,I think that previously when this had been dont there was always a breeze but on this occasion no wind so vapour did not disperse.It was shown to us on a fire fighting course.

Richard Hughes Not the smartest thing I've seen being done on the water

Peter Krawetzky Well that was pretty stupid if he's a real firefighter he needs to go back to school and learn the principles of explosive vapors.

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened!

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened! A small band of Somali pirates attempt to seize an unidentified ship during a raid. Bad idea. The ship turns out to be a U.S. Naval vessel. Watch what happens. Piracy in international waters is down in recent years, as governments and private shipping have gotten wise to the tactics of the raiders of the high seas. Pirates are finding increased patrols, harder targets, and tougher reprisals ( like this ), which has resulted in far fewer hijackings, according to statistics from the International Chamber of Commerce. This is a good thing, of course. But it also means we're going to see far fewer of these highly entertaining videos. Watch what happens when these tough guys see that they are not raiding a helpless commercial vessel but one owned and operated by the U.S. Navy. It's what you call a classic "oh sh*t" moment.

Who the hells filming this!?

Been there, done that in a 2100 ton, 300 ft. destroyer, the USS Van Valkenburgh, DD-656, in 1952. As I tell the story, the Captain asked me, "How do we turn around in this sea? We have to come about (turn around) to get out of this typhoon." I told him, "Simple. As you ride up the 60-foot wave, put the starboard screw on all-back-full, and the port screw on all-ahead-full. Just as you reach the crest of the wave, put 'er on hard right rudder! Don't forget to put the helm amidships and both screws on full ahead when you start down the other side of the wave. Then when the ship starts accelerating down into the trough, slow the screws down to about half power." He did that, we came smartly around 180 degrees, plowed into the wave now in front of us, steadied, and rode back out of the storm." I asked the Captain to give full credit to the helmsman and the two engine-room mates on the port and starboard throttles. He asked me how I knew...
