Five Brits were trying to enjoy a dream holiday to Greece when their boat caught fire and erupted in flames, leaving them scrambling for their lives before another boat sailed to the rescue
Five British tourists had to be rescued after their motorboat erupted into a fireball as they holidayed off a Greek island.
The Brits were enjoying their time off the coast of Zakynthos, Greece. It isn’t clear what triggered the fire, but one passenger is said to have suffered burns when it caught fire, around 250 feet from shore.
The fire quickly spread across the craft and in no time at all the entire boat was consumed.
Shocking images show a massive fireball sending plumes of black smoke into the sky set on the Mediterranean sea, in front of an idyllic looking holiday destination.
