Boats on fire in Puerto Banus

This was like a carry on film!
This is the scene from the luxury Port of Puerto Banus in Spain on 27.1.08, with the Spanish at their useless best! A raging fire had started on a boat moored on the jetty, with the wind veering to the right of the boat. There was at least a 5 min period from the boat lightly smoldering, to when the flames were ferociously licking out of the boat, a time period well sufficient for some bright spark to release the 2 boats moored alongside to the right. But oh no, some idiot decided that it would be a really good idea to release the boat on the left, which was clearly in no danger at all, and to leave the two other boats on the right hand side, in the immediate direction of the flames. As a subsequent consequence of this act of complete idiocy, the 2 boats on the right caught fire also, and within second all three boats were a raging inferno, bellowing toxic gases into the already polluted environment. Long live the Spanish and their brains of thunder!

HansTrein - you say they did a great job, what, of setting the other 2 boats on fire which could have been saved by some simple logical thinking! Clearly, you're just as dumb as they are! I'm a registered a fire officer, so don't insult my intelligence by asking me what I know about fire control, knob!

Yep, this looks like a fucking joke, are they really professional fire men. Or is it A terrorist attack.

@Sparkody The boats are all parked really close to eachother, so, the fire would spread easy, pretty simple.
