Ten rescued from burning yacht off the coast of Athens
Ten people who had been aboard a 25-meter yacht off Neo Faliro, southern Athens, were rescued unharmed on Thursday after a large fire broke out aboard the vessel.
fire service vessel was dispatched to the scene early yesterday afternoon after the fire broke out, spewing thick black clouds of smoke into the air.
The captain and another nine people who had been aboard the Ocean V were transferred onto a sailing boat and another two vessels and taken to the nearby Zea marina, where they were said to be in good health.
It remained unclear what caused the fire to break out on the vessel, which sank.
