Thousands of people watched a massive boat fire from Seattle’s downtown waterfront, Alki Beach, and a passing Washington state ferry sailing from Bainbridge Island Sunday afternoon.
An announcement on the ferry informed passengers the crew would be assisting with the fire, but in the end, Washington State Ferries crews were not needed because Good Samaritans were right there rescuing the boater in a matter of minutes. KOMO News spoke exclusively with those Good Samaritans about what happened and what all boaters can learn.
“We’re all like, ‘This can’t be happening. This is a dream,’” Katie Rollinger told KOMO News.
