Two speedboat racers died Wednesday after their Big Thunder Marine catamaran went airborne at high speed and crashed, marring the opening of three days of race at the Key West World Championship, officials said.
Spectators and organisers watched as Big Thunder Marine – a 46ft Skater catamaran with four 1,200 horsepower engines – was almost torn open by the force of the collision.

The Big Thunder Marine powerboat came down so hard in the third lap of the seven-lap race that its right front hull was brutally damaged.

The catastrophe led to the deaths of throttle man Robert M. Morgan, of Sunrise Beach, Missouri, and driver Jeffrey Tillman, of Kaiser, Missouri.
