Investigation begins into California boat fire as grim search goes on for bodies

By Omar Younis SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (Reuters) - A team of federal investigators on Tuesday promised an exhaustive probe into a fire that killed all 34 passengers on a dive boat, many of whose charred bodies were believed trapped in the sunken wreckage off the California coast. After recovering 20 bodies from the 75-foot (23-metre) Conception or from the waters where the dive ship quickly sank off Santa Cruz Island, officials said they believed none of the 14 victims initially classified as missing had survived the fast-moving flames.
