A father has described surviving a “terrifying” boat explosion in Fort Lauderdale on Memorial Day that left 11 people, including his two young children suffering from burns.
Antonio Rivera was one of the 13 people on board when the accident happened at approximately 5.45pm on Monday afternoon. He told CBS News that the driver had been attempting to restart the engine after refueling, intending to return the party to shore along the Intracoastal Waterway.
