Interesting article. It shows how prophetic Darwin was concerning the survival of our species. "Captain" Shane Turpin seems especially foolhardy in his attempts to demonstrate his lava "expertise".
Actually floating through the falling acid rain and fumes is nothing short of idiotic. If he doesn't understand what it could do to his client's lungs, he should be concerned about how it effects his engines.
Anyone who's been to the viewing site has seen the lavacat edge to within a few yards of the exploding lava. All it would take is one extra large steam explosion or a small bench collapse to ruin his day.
Fiberglass boats burn very readily; the good news is the fire will extinguish itself when it reaches the waterline.
