I was next to the burning yacht from noon until early morning. Not one helicopter was seen. The airplane didn’t show up until at least 6 or 7 pm. Everyone remained in the beach. One salvamento maritimo Boat (the orange ones) showed up, with attempts of water hiding the fire. In fairness I don’t think there is much that can be done once fibreglass and diesel ignite, especially to this extreme. The toxic gases were disturbing. I wish it was documented correctly and makes me wonder just how valid is the news we receive is.
