Without knowing any or all the facts obviously we are all speculating on the cause . It may turn out that this is just a horrible accident and the boats crew and owner are not responsible . Unfortunately horrible accidents do happen . From all accounts this boat , the crew and ownership ran a top notch outfit and I'm guessing were inspected by the USCG on a regular basis to pass the required safety standards .
One thing that may come out of this is that the minimum safety standards are not good enough , as an example ingress/egress to lower decks . Or that fire suppression systems will be mandatory on boats of a certain size or with X amount of sleeping space below deck . I don't want to minimize the pain/suffering for all involved it is a horrible tragedy but it could ........ I repeat could just be an accident . I can only imagine what the pressure on the investigators will be to find the route cause of this tragedy .
