Nine British Tourists Saved from Burning Yacht in Thailand

Nine British tourists were rescued from a burning yacht off the coast of the Thai island of Phuket.

The 15-meter-long vessel was hit by lightning and caught fire, reports the BBC.

The tourists remained uninjured, according to the authorities, because they were hidden below deck for the bad weather.

Fishermen came to the rescue and were able to save the crew. It did less well with the luxury craft. On the image, you can see how the yacht goes up in flames.
