Well the driver & throttleman got out okay. Recuperating & dining on barbequed Iguana from what I understand ...

Y'know I been thinkin'. With all the heat coming down on the offshore Gran Prix lately due to the deadly race(s) in Key West. Joey Gratton's widow suing for wrongful death, turtle'n manatee lovers, etc.

And, considering the millions upon millions of dollars involved. Me thinks mebbe the Geico fire was a MIHOP or LIHOP. Meaning "Let It Happen" or "Make It Happen" On Purpose. That would certainly cause some distraction wouldn't it?

Now the race bosses can brag about no one being killed and the fire being extinguished. Btw there were a couple boats squirting water on it but the fire only went out after the boat sank ...

Can you say "Insurance Job"?
