Terrifying Video: Yacht Worth Rs 300 Crore Engulfed In Massive Fire In Ibiza
A luxury superyacht worth €30 million (around Rs 306 crore) was recently filmed sinking in the Mediterranean Sea after a massive fire near Ibiza, Spain. Named Da Vinci, the yacht was engulfed in flames, and dramatic footage shows the vessel being completely destroyed.
According to reports, all onboard, including four passengers, two crew members and the captain, were safely rescued without injuries. Despite the swift response of rescue teams, the fire was so intense that it could not be contained, and the yacht ultimately sank to the sea floor. The cause of the blaze has not yet been confirmed.
Fire Begins In The Engine Room
Luis Gascon, the maritime captain of Ibiza, told Ultima Hora that the yacht sank at 6:19 pm in waters near the Ses Salines Natural Park. While the exact cause of the fire remains unknown, it reportedly started in the yacht's engine room. Initially, the blaze seemed manageable, but as the rescue team attempted to tow the vessel, the flames in the engine room quickly spiralled out of control, making it impossible to save the yacht.
The rescue team, Salvamento Marítimo, shared the video on Instagram and informed, 'Fire broke out on board the Da Vinci vessel, 7.3 miles southwest of Punta Gavina (Formentera). CCS Palma deployed the Guardamar Concepción Arenal and Salvamar Naos, which also transported firefighters. All seven crew members were safely evacuated to shore by the Naos. The fire could not be controlled, and the yacht eventually sank. The Guardamar remains in the area, clearing debris."

Public Reacts With Concern Over Safety And Environmental Impact
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'I don't even want to imagine that situation."
Another suggested, 'Boats with little professional maintenance, the sea corrodes the electrical installations and must be inspected every 6 months with the change of anodes and stability and tension tests in all their lines. It is not expensive to buy the boat. Keeping it in conditions is the problem."
'If throwing trash in the sea is punishable, if you sink in a boat, is it considered the same? In the end, it's to get to the bottom of the sea, something that shouldn't be there," a comment read.
One more added, 'They could already limit the access of yachts to Formentera because they are ruining the beaches with so many boats and their accidents and fires, a little more control would not go wrong, that protects the island NOW."
According to Boat International, Da Vinci, part of Spanish shipyard Astondoa's 95 GLX series, was a luxury superyacht designed for comfort and entertainment. The vessel featured a wet bar, a barbecue area, and a flybridge for open-air views. It could accommodate up to 10 guests and included a private owner's suite for an intimate experience.

BMC to deploy manpower, machinery to collect and process PoP idols during Ganesh festival
Following the Bombay High Court's order to recycle Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols during the upcoming Ganesh festival, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced on Friday that it would set up processing centres and recycling units across Mumbai. The civic body has also issued a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), stating that all the immersed idols will be immediately retrieved from the water bodies as they will not be allowed to remain submerged for a prolonged period, reducing the risk of water pollution. According to the detailed SOP, the idols will be retrieved either manually or with the help of machines. 'The Bombay High Court, in its recent order on July 24, had explicitly emphasised the need for an expert scientific committee to suggest methods for the reuse and recycling of PoP idols. The same is under consideration, and in view of the above, following the set of SOP along with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines shall be applied to the process of retrieval of immersed idol at the zone level and transportation to construction debris waste processing facility at Dahisar and Shilphata,' the BMC order said. The civic body further explained that all idols will be immediately removed from the water within 24 hours. The smaller idols will be retrieved immediately, while the larger ones will be retrieved using cranes or other machines, it stated. BMC would clear the idols from the water bodies by employing labourers in a 12-hour shift where the dumper trucks transporting the retrieved idols would be paid Rs 8,800-Rs 9,700 for each shift. The dumper truck shall have a minimum capacity to transport 18,500 kg with a tarpaulin covering. 'The cost includes the labour charge, driver's fare, fuel and toll charges, parking fee, and insurance charges. A minimum of three labourers shall be used for loading and unloading of the idols into the vehicles,' an officer said. He maintained that an estimate will be prepared based on these rates and ward-level officers will invite tenders for the vehicles. 'Ward-level recycling units will collect and sort the idols after the immersion. If it is seen that they could be sorted at the local level, it will be done so, or else they will be sent to the C and D facilities at Dahisar or Shilphata (Thane) for final processing. The cost of the entire process will be funded by BMC,' said the officer.
