The NTSB is perhaps the best example of “good government” in my book. They do great work.

And their recommendations are routinely ignored.
At 2:39:40 Jennifer Homendy puts her finger on the crux. "During all those inspections, could the CG not note that the emergency exits both access the same area?" Absolutely fundamental design flaw which was ignored by owners and CG for decades.
Anybody who is or does now work on a fishing vessel needs to watch all 3 hours and 53 minutes of this video. It should scare the crap out of them and make them realize what can happen if the rules are not followed, even if those rules are inadequate. The Coast Guard is worse than the FAA!
Still looked like a lithium battery pack let loose to me
So who survived? The crew who launched on the skiff and said, “see ya suckers!”
2:19:59 break ends, meeting resumes

NTSB please feel free to copy this to the video description
Do we know or has it ever been mentioned who the boat manufacture was that built the Conception Boat. Are they the same company that built the Vision? I think it was. What I do know is it was Built by a company in Long Beach. I have done some research and these two boats are not the only two built from this Company. There are some Fishing Charter boats that are very close Sister ships to the Conception and Vision used out of San Diego as well as other ports in California. They have the same Hatches and stairwells as well as the same deck lay outs as conception and vision but set up for Fishing Boats. I am not sure if this boat manufacture is still operating or is a now defunct company? Also is there any word on when the Final Coast Guard report will be released?
The lack of a roving watch was the single biggest factor, here. There should be criminal penalties for a captain’s failure to make sure that a proper watch rotation is established. The Coast Guard is overwhelmed by having multiple mandates. There’s no way they can assure that these standards are adhered to.

Was in the Coast Guard for 8 years and we had an Oiler of the watch and a Boatswain's mate of the watch. I was in Operations/Comms but they are the single most important people on the ship when you are sleeping.
Insurance company’s Loss Control Program doesn’t have an audit?! Sigh. If they asked questions they might have to provide some structure or insight and that could potentially make them liable to the process. Rule number one is defer all express responsibilities. Rule number two is maintain all implied responsibilities. It is remarkable how thoroughly a group of people can protect themselves while taking rigorous advantage of everyone around them.
I appreciate these being posted but the recording needs made with a dedicated machine. The hangout notifications were an ongoing distraction...
I'm curious who took the picture of the electrical cords and how you got the picture, after the fire. @ 51:00

Might have been a diver from a previous trip. People take pictures of everything now. Or possibly from the sister vessel, the NTSB was all over that one post sinking. That's where they were checking out the hatches and stuff from the b-roll on KZread

At 22:23 - they say pre-accident photos of Conception. Looking at the accident docket and looking at the "5 - Fire and Explosions - Fire and Explosions Factual Report" PDF (dms.ntsb.gov/public/64000-64499/64213/638842.pdf ). On page 36 it says "Figure 35. Left: August 31, 2019 photo of devices plugged in at the port side aft corner of the salon on the Conception (source: FBI)". To be clear I also think its a diver from a previous trip. The diver could have gave the photo to the FBI who then passed it on the the NTSB.

Important to note that deviance is a dynamic and not a state, so this process can continue indefinitely. We have come to think of ourselves as the sum of our differences.
They need a roving guard ,when all are asleep.
