1 dead, several missing as massive SF Bay rescue underway near Alcatraz
A deadly boat fire and sinking off Alcatraz Island has left one person dead and at least two others still missing, as a dramatic rescue operation in San Francisco Bay continued into the evening.
The vessel, carrying 19 people, was roughly 600 yards off Alcatraz between the infamous island and the Golden Gate Bridge when it started sinking beneath the frigid waters of the bay Tuesday afternoon.

The US Coast Guard initially classified it as a “vessel fire” and said 19 people were aboard when the emergency unfolded. But the San Francisco Fire Department said during a 5 p.m. news conference that crews found no evidence a fire had occurred.
Fire officials said the boat was a three-level pontoon vessel that was already mostly underwater when rescuers arrived, with only the top deck still visible above the surface.
When crews arrived some people were in the water, some were on the boat. Officials said the boat launched somewhere near the St. Francis Yacht club.
