UPDATE: NY Waterway captain speaks out after rescue in waters off Lower Manhattan.
At a news conference on Tuesday evening, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the deaths of a woman and a 7-year-old boy following the capsizing of a boat in the waters off Lower Manhattan.
Sewell said the incident happened at around 2:45 p.m., adding a 911 call was received for an overturned vessel by The Battery. "The NYPD and FDNY immediately deployed resources to the area. NYPD Harbor Patrol arrived at Pier 86 at West 46th Street where they observed a capsized vessel," Sewell said."Two victims were rescued by Harbor. They were drifting near the boat. The NYPD SCUBA immediately deployed divers into the water. A female was brought to surface and into the boat. She was unresponsive. Without delay, FDNY Marine divers also entered the water and pulled out a male, 7 years old.
Sewell went on to say,"This is a tragic day for New Yorkers. Indeed, it may have well been worse were it not for the incredible effort by not only our own extraordinary first responders but also the swift response from New York Waterway ferries who rescued nine additional people from the water." https://www.cbsnews.
