Authorities say they have recovered the bodies of 33 people from a scuba diving boat fire off the coast of Southern California. One person was still missing.
Authorities and FBI investigators cart away evidence taken from the scuba boat Conception in Santa Barbara Harbor at the end of their second day searching for the remaining divers still missing from the deadly pre-dawn fire on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2019, in Santa Barbara, Calif. A fire raged through the boat Conception carrying recreational scuba divers anchored near an island off the Southern California Coast Monday, leaving multiple people dead.
Flames moved so quickly through the 75-foot vessel that it blocked a narrow stairway and an escape hatch leading to the upper decks, giving those below virtually no chance of escaping, authorities said. Susana Rosas of Stockton, California, posted that her three daughters — Evan, Nicole and Angela Quitasol — were with their father Michael Quitasol and stepmother Fernisa Sison.
Rosas’ husband, Chris, told the Los Angeles Times that Nicole Quitasol worked as a bartender in Coronado near San Diego and her sister, Angela, was a science teacher at a middle school in Stockton. Scott Chan, a physics teacher at American High School in Fremont, also was aboard with his daughter, said Brian Killgore, a spokesman for the Fremont Unified School District. The district said in a statement that Chan taught Advance Placement physics classes for the past three years.
“They went to heaven doing something they loved together,” Neal’s father, John Baltz, told the television station.
