Charter Boat Capsizes in San Francisco Bay

At 3:53 · chapter starts 3:25

Northern California authorities were searching for three people still missing after a tragedy on San Francisco Bay. A 50-foot pontoon charter boat — carrying approximately 20 passengers, mostly family members gathered for a memorial service — took on water after being struck by a wave and capsized. San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispin confirmed the circumstances of the accident, noting the poignant context: a family gathering to honor someone's memory became a disaster. One person was confirmed dead, three others were taken to local hospitals, a dog also perished, and three people remained unaccounted for. The US Coast Guard launched a search and rescue operation to find the missing boaters. Reporter Azul Dahlstrom Ekman of member station KQED filed the story from San Francisco.
