Okay, was this Santa Cruz or Santa Barbara????
The great escape.
How come all the crew members survived and 34 passengers died? This does not make sense! I wonder if a competitor company bribed someone to put this company out of business by fire! So they can make $22000 each trip?
This can't be an accident! Most likely the boat was anchored and no engine was running, was the fire deliberately started by some one?
one of the people who died on that boat was a physics teacher at my school 💔
She looks like a good match for soccer girl.
You should make it CLEAR in the video title that the fire was in the
SANTA BARBARA area..Santa Cruz ISLAND is where it appears the crew were rescued from..so, please don't title this a, "Santa Cruz Boat Fire.* 🙄
This is why I am more convinced that I will never go on a cruise! I pray for a miracle !
Wonder if all those oxygen filled tanks fed the fire
Dove this boat many times. Four rows of bunks each stacked three high in passenger quarters. Passengers sleep below sea level, crew sleeps in crew quarters which are above the working deck. Should be at least one crew member awake at all times. Most likely smoke inhalation or CO poisoning incapacated passengers, as there is a ladder down the front and emergency exit in back of passenger cabin.
Lol, "Monica… And my rank is Captain" 🙄
?? Weird bossy coast guard person seems not to know much or care.
Why is it that the 'crew' always jumps ship and leaves their 'passengers' onboard to fend for themselves? Isn't there an obligated duty to passenger protection on a ship?

4 + 9 = 13 another code……………..you notice the crew were the only survivors…….the names of the boats are also coded
Wow that boy sounds just like an adult female. His parents shouldn't have named him Monica, maybe he won't sound so girly.
Unless there ends up being a huge explosion this is murder.
How come the reporters are blaming this on Trump?
Why cant you talk to the crew members, or let them speak. They can say if ANY one got out.!?
Useless info right now. Horribly woeful in information.
There are men named Monica?
Boat ban!
They will find that the fire blocked the exit to the deck. They will find the body’s when pull up the hull.
Rescue what ? poor people are being eaten by sharks now
Dont worry remember what happened in Gilligan's Island.
34 souls who never anticipated dying this morning. How many went to hell ? Heaven is a gift that none of us deserve. All lovers of the secular world would be lining up for hell. So, are any of you ready for the death approaching you know not when, and the just judgement of God ? ?
Thank you for your service! This one is gonna be tough! Prayers for all involved!
My left ear is so informed
How are they missing if they were sleeping in the boat? Was there an explosion? Had to be. Tanks must of blew.
they wanted somebody dead on that boat
These reporters ask the most retarded questions
There is something spooky about 34 people dead and no one knows why and only the crew got off , it sounds like the crew murdered all those pople for unknown reasons and covered it up. Something is not adding up.
she can't even look at you because she knows it's a lie. and knows most people can pick off liars. all that so she can have her lgbt rights that she already had.
I live by the harbor there in Oxnard and been on the boats that’s cool
Take your damn hat off and make some eye contact!
How cares how helicopters did you send?
Why are they only 20 yards off shore at 3am? Are they anchored there?
To sum up the interview she literally has "no more additional information"
Check the passenger manifest. maybe 2 or 3 of them are related to the Epstein case. Someone is cleaning the house.
You can't tell me that they haven't seen floating bodies, by this time.
That’s it, outlaw boats and how dare the Democratic Party take money from the Boating industry.
Boay called the great escape….only 5 escaped😱😱😱😱😱😟
Ban boats. Boats kill!
