A middle-of-the-night fire swept a boat carrying recreational scuba divers anchored near an island off the Southern California coast early on Sept. 2, leaving at least 25 dead and nine others missing.
Five of six crew members on the Conception escaped by jumping into an inflatable boat they steered to a nearby vessel.
