near Alcatraz
\nSAN FRANCISCO
\nOne person was dead and two were missing after a boat carrying 19 people sank near Alcatraz, the former prison and tourist site in San Francisco Bay, US officials said Tuesday. Helicopters, planes and rescue boats operated by local fire and police teams were working alongside US Coast Guard to find the missing.
\nFire Chief Dean Crispen said rescuers first responded to a report of \u201ca boat on fire, 600 yards off Alcatraz\u201d Island around 3:35 p.m. (1035 GMT), according to a short Instagram video posted by San Francisco\u2019s mayor. When rescuers approached, the boat had capsized and efforts were made to resuscitate the person who died.
\n\u201cThey immediately initiated CPR, transported that patient to the shore. They were declared deceased,\u201d Crispen said. \u201cWe still have two missing and one deceased dog.\u201d San Francisco Fire Department Lt. Elias Mariano told media the search for the two people still missing will continue \u201cthrough the night.\u201d The boat was a privately owned cabin cruiser motorboat from Stockton, California, Mariano said.
\nAuthorities did not know if the boat was headed to Alcatraz, a major tourist attraction, where shuttered buildings of the famous former prison still stand. At least one person was severely injured in the water when rescuers arrived, the Los Angeles Times reported. Authorities confirmed the remaining 16 passengers were rescued. Local television stations aired footage of the final moments of the boat sinking in the San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
