One person is dead and three others are missing after a boat with more than a dozen passengers aboard capsized and sank in San Francisco Bay near Alcatraz Island on Tuesday, according to local authorities.
Authorities said they believe 20 people were aboard the Volare, a 50-foot cabin cruiser based out of Stockton, California, when it was hit by a wave, causing it to capsize.
The person who died was taken to the shore severely injured and, despite CPR being administered, was pronounced dead, officials said. He has not been identified but authorities said he was an adult male.

Three people were taken to the hospital and reported to be in stable condition. They were expected to be released later Tuesday.
San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispen told reporters that authorities believe that there was some kind of memorial service that the 20 passengers, all adults and mostly comprised of family members, were engaging in on the vessel when it capsized.

I don’t easily panic but floating in the ocean at nighttime is freaking nightmare fuel. Rescue couldn’t possibly come quick enough. I hope there aren’t any additional casualties.

A memorial service needed for the memorial service.

That doesn’t look like a cabin cruiser nor does it look 50ft. It looks like a big arse homemade pontoon

Beat me to it. No way that's 50 ft. or a cabin cruiser when a jet ski next to it gives it some scale.

Dumbasses probably crowded the bow and stuffed a wave.

100%. This was in a bay after all.

The top deck is all you see. Look closely at the second picture. There’s a lot of boat underwater.

Take a close look at the waterline. You can see windows.
The exposed part appears to be top-side seating.

Of all the places to have my boat capsize, that would not be my first choice.

You absolutely know he can’t be normal.
He’s a wannabe Macron; his wife was his 5th grade teacher at Catholic School.
You simply can’t make this California weirdness up.

Probably the case here. All got up at the bow to dump some ashes and ate a wave.

Why would you have bumpers so high if there is a whole different level?

Macron's wife is 24 years older than he is.
In 5th grade you're 10-11 years old and your teacher could be 22-23. Not saying it's normal, but it could be way less dramatic than Macron.
Or it could be worse, who knows

I had to read that twice. At first, I was like what's wrong with his wife being a teacher? Oh, his teacher. Gotcha.
