It seems like rich people’s hobby is risking their lives… An unfortunate incident unfolded on the night of September 18, 2024, when “The Admiral” a 100-foot luxury yacht sank in Marina del Rey following a massive fire triggered by a fireworks explosion.
The fire was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. at Basin A, where the yacht was docked. According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the blaze was fueled by a combination of fireworks and live ammunition stored on board.
