The U.S. Coast Guard says the report of an explosion aboard a yacht off the coast of New Jersey could actually be a hoax. Authorities were told that seven were injured people as all 21 aboard were forced into life rafts. The yacht, Blind Date, was said to be 17 nautical miles east of shore when the accident occurred. But Joe Klinker, a Coast Guard official, said that it was "highly unusual" for the Coast Guard to get that kind of positioning and arrive quickly to find no signs of distress. He said it remains unclear if a yacht named Blind Date actually exists.
