Three dead after yacht capsizes off Long Island, New York
Three dead after yacht capsizes off Long Island, New York
Three people were pulled out of New York's Long Island Sound overnight after a yacht capsized on the Fourth of July, and 24 others were rescued, police said. Nassau County Deputy Inspector Kenneth Lack said the three bodies were recovered from the water near Oyster Bay after a long overnight search. The 24 survivors were pulled from the water around 11 p.m. ET Wednesday, about an hour after the 34-foot Silverton boat capsized, the U.S. Coast Guard said. Owners of private boats dragged people into their vessels until crews from law enforcement agencies and fire departments arrived, according to local reports. Lack said some but not all passengers were wearing life jackets. He said weather may have played a factor or a wake from another vessel may have caused the boat to capsize. Advertise | AdChoices Newsday reported that the 27 people on board were watching the Fourth of July fireworks. A boater told Newsday he saw the yacht turn right and then tip over after it was hit by a wake. "It was like in slow motion," said Sammy Balasso of Oyster Bay. "All of a sudden, a lot of bodies were in the water." His nephew, 15-year-old Frankie Barbone of Bayview, said the waves almost came up over the yacht. Balasso said he put the spotlight of his 38-foot speedboard on the Silverton and then threw all the life jackets he had with him into the water. He said he rescued 20 people who were later taken to the shore in police boats. Nassau County Deputy Inspector Kenneth Lack told Newsday that most of the people rescued were taken to hospitals for observation but that one person was in critical condition. - - - 27 people on a 34-foot boat? Sheesh. |

Sheesh. Using the (( LOA x Beam ) / 15) rule and guessing at the beam, I still can't get over about 22 people(which is still too many). What were these people thinking? Idiots going to watch fireworks on the water at night. Dumbest thing you can ever do. Another case of failure to keep a proper lookout. Wakes don't come from nowhere and you can and should turn into them. |

Sheesh. We have been having a bad year for fatalities in Iowa. Two drunks collided in the river in downtown Des Moines. They met head on and didn't know enough to keep to the right. How much the booze contributed is debatable. The people who cause most of the drunk driving fatalities don't know how to drive when they are sober. The paper brought up the fatality we had a few years back. A drunk rammed a boat from behind at night. Killed a dentist with the prop. Plenty about the drunk and the fact that after he got out of the can he got busted for drunk driving. Not a word then or now about the failure of the dead man to keep a lookout. Lots of whining by the widow about how evil the drunk was, not one word of regret for her husband begging to die. Casady |

Casady I don't see much in the way of safety enforcement on the waterways around here. I used to keep a boat at a local marina the Maryland water cops also used, but I rarely saw their slip empty. The one time I was stopped, at least a decade ago, it was by a very nice looking female water cop. A buddy on my boat at the time asked her out on a date, and she accepted. |
