IrelandA boat carrying 20 people sank near Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, resulting in one death and three people missing. Rescue operations involving helicopters, planes, and boats were conducted by local authorities and the US Coast Guard. The incident began with reports of a boat on fire approximately 600 yards from Alcatraz. When rescuers arrived, the vessel had already capsized, and efforts to revive the deceased individual were unsuccessful. Initially, two people were reported missing, but this number was later increased to three based on witness accounts. Rescue teams used thermal imaging, tide predictions, and modeling to guide their search. The boat was identified as a privately owned cabin cruiser from Stockton, California. It remains unclear whether the boat was heading toward Alcatraz. At least one passenger sustained severe injuries during the incident, according to the Los Angeles Times. The remaining 16 passengers were successfully rescued.
