Christensen said it appeared one of the two propellers came loose

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the sheer incompetence of the womble that wrote this, to repeatedly call the vessel a jet boat, then casually mention that a propeller came off? I also had a look at their Facebook page, (the racing team, that is) and they also say the cause of the crash was losing a propeller.

Top notch journalism.

Ah yeah that makes sense seeing as the engine isn't in it in those photos.
