Another FReeper raised this very issue on one of the earlier threads. Hopefully he (0r she) will see this, because it conforms that their comment was spot on the money.

No wonder they filed a preventive lawsuit limiting their liability. This is going to get ugly.

If they had a Fire Watch, ingrained in maritime culture (and regulations!)for several thousand years, there likely would have been 33 survivors instead of 5.
All 5 of the surviving crew members are guilty of manslaughter.

Looks like they will try to pin the blame on a Samsung Note 7 being charged overnight.

Someone another thread said preparing bacon for breakfast was the reason.

Have they ever printed a list of victims? We lived in that area and had many friends who were divers.

Another FReeper raised this very issue on one of the earlier threads. I recall the same. Navy vet. Had to stand his share of night watches. Fire has been the enemy of sailors since history began.

Complacency kills. Fire / night / smoking watch while at sea, at anchor or even tied to the pier.
Live watch 24/7 for a reason.

In the U.S.Navy it’s called the Fire Watch...for a reason.

I have no sympathy now for the boat owners, captain and crew. Well done you freaking retards. I remember the owner a few days ago saying the “crew are all mariners, trained and capable”
BULLSHIT
I hope the families take them for every penny.
