The U.S. Coast Guard has suspended its search for survivors of the deadly dive boat fire near the Channel Islands over the weekend. Thirty-nine people were aboard the boat, 33 passengers and six crew members. Five crew members escaped from the burning boat, meaning 34 people likely didn’t survive the fire. Coast Guard officials say decided to suspend the operation after crews searched more about 160 miles and found no additional signs of distress or debris. The National Transportation Safety Board says an investigation is ongoing, adding that a final report could be one to two years away.
