One dead and three missing after boat sinks near San Francisco's Alcatraz prison island

A boat carrying 20 people sank near Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, resulting in one fatality and three missing persons. Rescuers, including helicopters, planes, and coast guard units, worked through the night to locate the missing individuals. The incident began with reports of a boat on fire, which led to the discovery of the capsized vessel. Initial reports indicated two missing persons, but this was later revised to three based on witness accounts. The boat, a privately owned cabin cruiser from Stockton, was not confirmed to be heading to Alcatraz, a popular tourist destination. At least one person sustained serious injuries during the rescue operation, while the remaining 16 passengers were successfully recovered.
