Holy sh*t. Jakarta port fire. Video.

[Vanhelsing]

From youtube
"Research vessel BARUNA JAYA I, which became well-known after taking part in search for crashed flight Lion Air JT 610 black box, was nearly gutted by the disastrous fire in Muara Baru, Penjaringa, North Jakarta. Fire started in the afternoon Feb 23 on one of dozens of local fishing vessels and boats, berthed in harbor, and quickly spread to other, mainly wooden, vessels. As of afternoon Feb 24, firefighters were still dousing fire, which destroyed at least 35 vessels. Reportedly, BARUNA JAYA I was rescued from fire, and remained undamaged. Several videos give a good impression of the inferno in Muara Baru. Research vessel BARUNA JAYA I, IMO 8420036, GT 1184, built 1989, flag Indonesia."

In fact the fire was not so spectacular in real life as on the Telly (with the dramatic music). Pic taken by our tenant in a Pluit apartment:

Some local boat owners were very happy and had a good time; they stated they were insured...

Wood, oil, greasy dirts, ...slow intervention of fire brigade..
All the ingredients for a good fire !

Ah yes. Insurance . Big difference between being insured and actually getting your money claim from them! Always an excuse not to pay out .

Yeah, the music was ... not subtle.
