Some new info. Apparently doors were not locked and there were hatches. But doors and hatches may have been blocked due to whatever happened? An explosion of some sort occurred after the fire started. Maybe propane tank? Galley apparently was propane fired. Report also stated something about gasoline? Seems odd, that boat wouldn't have any gasoline on board. A boat that size would definitely be diesel powered, so only a generator would maybe be gasoline powered, but why? I think the gasoline report is inaccurate.

Also, the 911 calls were from various sources not all from the captain of the conception. Some from a rescue boat anchored near by and possibly a third boat.

The five crew that were rescued and the only survivors that I am aware of were all awake and on the bridge at the time of the incident.

I can't help but think that what ever occurred below the bridge was sudden, catastrophic and all below decks succumbed rather quickly.
