Fuel fumes igniting. Propane leaking and settling in the bilge. Lots of stuff can go wrong. There’s a reason why USCG inspections are so stringent.

This was a VIOLENT explosion, typical of a propane tank explosion. I believe propane is ODORLESS, therefore it could've already leaked into sleep compartments below.. Remnants of boat are torn apart, ripped apart from explosion. 34 dead on a 75 ft. boat merely 60 feet from shore is shocking. Perhaps the 34 were rendered unconscious from the lateral shock wave and the crew above were able to jump ship.

Prayers for victims families.
