A San Francisco Fire Department Boat Searches for Missing Persons Near Alcatraz Island
A San Francisco Fire Department boat is searching near Alcatraz Island for three missing people after a recreational boat, the Volare, sank on Tuesday.
An independent investigation has revealed that the Volare, the boat that sank near Alcatraz, experienced a sudden roll after being struck by a particularly powerful wave. This new finding challenges initial reports, suggesting that while a wave was the trigger, the boat's design and loading may have contributed to the rapid sinking. The San Francisco Fire Department's search and rescue efforts continue, focusing on a 3-mile radius around the island, with divers from multiple agencies joining the operation. The three missing individuals are still at large, prompting a heightened state of alert along the California coast. Read the original article for more details
