Boat Rescues Across US After Multiple Capsizes

Multiple boat capsizing incidents across the United States have prompted dramatic rescues by emergency crews. In Lake Erie near Erie, Pennsylvania, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew from Detroit and local responders saved four people from a capsized vessel, including one who survived in an air pocket under the boat, with all reported in good condition and mechanical failure suspected. Off Bird Rock in San Diego, five people were rescued after their boat capsized, with one person left in critical condition after being trapped under the vessel; all were taken to local hospitals. In Barbour County, West Virginia, a woman was swept over waterfalls after her boat overturned in the Tygart River and was subsequently found and airlifted for medical care following a multi-agency search. These incidents underscore the ongoing risks of boating and highlight the vital role of coordinated rescue efforts. No UK rescues or Lake District incidents were reported in the updated account.
