I've been watching this. Or trying not to, all day. Horrifying :*(
Yeah it sounds like the crew was like fuck this we're out and said fuck the passengers. Don't blame them though I'm sure they were scared to death at the time...so sad. 5 crew jumped and lived.
I heard they tried putting the fire out multiple times. Crew was awake and on deckYeah it sounds like the crew was like fuck this we're out and said fuck the passengers. Don't blame them though I'm sure they were scared to death at the time...
that sux, especially because they were surrounded with lots of waterSo seems the fire prevented everyone from getting up on deck. If so, they all burnt alive :*(
That is an absolutely horrible way to go. Extremely sad.I heard they tried putting the fire out multiple times. Crew was awake and on deck

My worst nightmare. Most likely burning to death or trapped underwater and drowning. Reminds me of the all the guys on ships that died trapped during Pearl Harbor and so on...Everyone else apparently sleeping down below......miserable way to go
The optics of all the crew members except for one and all the passengers dying is terrible...co-worker is an avid diver, from Santa Barbara originally. He was there last weekend to visit his parents, I was real happy to see him Tuesday AM.
He said he's been on those boats, and that they are an older style. The exit from the sleeping quarters is through the galley. I heard the fire started at approximately the time the cook would be starting breakfast, and the cook was the only crew member who wasn't topside when the fire happened.
Most likely they died from smoke inhalation when a fire broke out in the galley and trapped them. My friend said there's been a push over the years to make these boats upgrade to an additional egress. But it's fucking NUTS to me that you have the only exit from the sleeping quarters through the galley. "Galley Fire" is real thing on boats.
crew normally sleeps topside for exactly this reason. I guess there was an emergency hatch out of the sleeping quarters, but it led to the same deck as the galley, and you have to go through the galley to get topside. Basically there was no way down to the fire, and no way up from the fire.The optics of all the crew members except for one and all the passengers dying is terrible...
