Tuesday Reads

Apparently only five people survived the diving boat fire of the other night.  Few had a chance to escape, as the fire occurred in the early morning hours.

"It is never an easy decision to suspend search efforts," U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Monica Rochester said during a Tuesday news conference. But no signs of distress had been found during the 24-hour-long search and "we should all be prepared to move into the worst outcome," she said.

Crews would turn their focus to recovery and investigation to find out "why this incident occurred and what we can learn from this tragedy," Rochester said. Investigators would also be interviewing the five crew members, including a boat captain, who survived the blaze.

So only the crew survived, and all 34 passengers are presumed dead.

The lawsuits are going to be tremendous.
