A luxury superyacht named "Da Vinci" caught fire and sank off the coast of Formentera near Ibiza, Spain. The blaze, reportedly starting in the engine room, quickly engulfed the 92-foot vessel, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky as seen in a dramatic video that surfaced on social media on August 13. All seven crew members escaped unharmed after being evacuated by rescue boats, including Guardamar Concepcion Arenal and Salvamar Naos. Despite firefighters’ efforts, the fire could not be contained, and the yacht sank about 7.3 miles southwest of Formentera. Authorities have launched an investigation, with early reports pointing to mechanical failure as a possible cause. Cleanup operations are underway to remove debris from the affected area. Cordoba Fire: Blaze Erupts at Historic Mosque–Cathedral in Spain After Suspected Cleaning Machine Battery Malfunction; Video Surfaces.
