Danes Probe Gas Leak Explosion That Killed 53
A boat on a lake resort excursion in Haderslev Denmark exploded and burned after a suspected gas leak. Officials say the vessel was dangerously overloaded, carrying at least 53 passengers though rated for far fewer, many of them women and children. The ship capsized quickly as flames spread, killing dozens despite attempts to help. The Danish Shipping Inspection Board notes the capacity had been reduced recently from 75 to 55.
