The family of the lone crew member to die in a boat fire that killed all 33 passengers off the Southern California coast last year sued the vessel's owners Monday in federal court. Alexandra "Allie" Kurtz, 26, an Illinois native living in California, was a new crew member at the time of the fire. The only survivors of the Conception were the captain and four other crew members, who were all asleep above deck. A preliminary NTSB report found that all six crew members were asleep when the fire broke out. One crew member, who broke his leg trying to escape, has also sued the boat owners along with the wife and teenage children of a man who died below deck.
