Rescuers keep searching for 3 people after a boat sank in San Francisco Bay, killing 1

  • By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ Associated Press

Rescuers are still searching for three people missing after a boat sank in San Francisco Bay near Alcatraz Island as part of memorial service. One person was pulled from the water but later died, and 16 others were rescued Tuesday afternoon. A dog on board also died. Authorities say the boat capsized amid swells up to 5 feet. They say the boat was a 50-foot pleasure craft. The U.S. Coast Guard is leading the search with vessels and aircraft. It has not yet determined how long crews will search before switching to a recovery operation.
