Apollo 1

The similarity to Apollo 1 fire is 100%. What has happened is that pure oxygen has leaked (or opened by someone, eg for comfort breathing . ) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

The cause of the apollo 1 fire is the atmosphere of higher than normal % oxygen.

The safety concern is that numerous places put tanks of FUEL outside so that a leak blows away , but they have pure oxygen tanks inside enclosed spaces where a leak goes like this

Title

The title of this article is currently "2019 Santa Cruz Island diving ship sinking". This is admittedly very wonky, and as such is open to change. SamHolt6 (talk) 20:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What about MV Conception sinking or Sinking of MV Conception? 89.240.135.201 (talk) 21:47, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sinking of MV Conception is definitely a much better title than this, fitting with the convention of other ship sinking articles (e.g. the most famous one, Sinking of the RMS Titanic). I'll move it momentarily. ansh.666 00:36, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ansh.666:} Thank you! 89.240.135.201 (talk) 00:50, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Although, there is one thing: I did a quick search after I moved (because I'm dumb) and I can only find this ship referred to as "MV Conception" in one place, on an internet forum. News reports and the vessel owners' website all refer to it simply as "Conception". If that's really the case, feel free to remove the "MV" from the title. Thanks! ansh.666 00:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MV stands simply for motor vessel, and is a pretty standard prefix. No strong opinion of if WP should use prefixes, but it certainly does at the moment. 89.240.135.201 (talk) 00:58, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest "2019 Santa Cruz Island boat fire" as an acceptable title. Bus stop (talk) 16:22, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to suggest M/V Conception fire per other articles in Category:Ship fires that are about the fires per se rather than the ship (and I would suggest that, if this article follows the pattern of many of these other ones, it will eventually include the history of the vessel itself and should really just be M/V Conception. Maybe we could even go all the way there. Daniel Case (talk) 20:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem like the "real event" here is the fire, not the sinking. The sinking, I believe, was merely the inevitable result of the fire. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image

There is an picture of the boat on the Truth Aquatics website; cn that be used instead of the look-a-like boat in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:9880:1A08:C:E9C4:6DB:93D5:E52C (talk) 22:18, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not per WP:UNFREE. In the distant past it was considered fair use on here, and some old old examples like MV Levina 1 still exist, but they are being deleted nowadays when found. 92.10.181.245 (talk) 23:19, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
