National Transportation and Safety Board member Jennifer Homendy told The Times she was “taken aback” by the size of the emergency hatch when she toured the Vision.

Investigators right now are trying to retrieve the 34th and final victim of a disastrous fire aboard the diving boat Conception earlier this week.

They also say it could take up to two years to determine the cause of the fire, Fox News reported on Thursday morning.

When a portion of the mayday call from the Conception was released, a person could be heard on the recording saying, “I can’t breathe,” as CNN and other outlets reported these past few days.

  • “Can you get back on board and unlock the boat?”
  • “There’s no escape hatch for any of the people on board?”
  • “You don’t have any firefighter gear at all? No fire extinguishers or anything?”
