What
could be a more pleasant way to beat the summer heat?
Than
to off waters of Santa Cruz embark on a diving treat
34
people boarded the Conception for a
Labor Day Weekend of scuba beneath the waves
Little
did anyone know or suspect that only the crew would escape an early grave
In
the early morning hours with the divers all asleep below
Crew
on deck preparing tanks for the dive the divers would soon go
A
fire broke out quickly turning the boat into a raging inferno forcing crew to abandon
ship
While
below awakening to the smoke and fire the divers were in a deadly grip
No
way to escape to the safety of the deck
No
way to be able to the inferno deflect
34
people are now in all likelihood dead
Burnt
to a crisp in their flaming beds
Hopefully
the Coast Guard will learn what caused and prevented escape from the deadly fire
If
possible unblocked exits from below deck all boats carrying that many be required
In
that case these divers will not have died in vain
The
crew will suffer from post traumatic syndrome in their brains
