Passenger's Video Captures Terrifying Moment of High Speed Tour Boat Collision Near Miami

  • Two tour boats collided near PortMiami on Sunday, Feb. 10, leaving 13 people injured 

  • A passenger aboard the Thriller boat recorded the moment of the high-speed crash 

  • 30 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units rushed to the scene at the time of the incident

  • Several passengers are now suing, their lawyers confirmed to PEOPLE

A passenger aboard one of the tour boats that crashed in Miami last month captured the horrifying moment of impact.

In a video shared on Instagram by Mausner Graham Injury Law PLLC (the firm representing several people injured in the crash), the passenger starts recording herself while seated on a Miami tour boat called the Thriller. She pans the camera to reveal the Miami skyline while the boat speeds through the water. The faces of all passengers, including hers, have been blurred to protect their privacy.

As music can be heard playing and other passengers appear carefree in the clip, a second boat, a private charter vessel, then comes into frame in the background clearly heading toward the Thriller.

In the next few seconds, some of the passengers start screaming as it quickly becomes clear that the boats are going to collide.

The video goes dark as the bow of the charter boat smashes into the Thriller.

Both boats were traveling through Fishermans Channel near PortMiami on Sunday, Feb. 10 when the incident occurred. At least 30 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) units rushed to the scene.
