The U.S. Coast Guard rescued eight people from the water after a boat from Cuba capsized off the coast of Florida. Officials said that they recovered two bodies from the water and that ten others were missing.
The Coast Guard sent three cutters and three helicopters to the area as they continue to search for any survivors.
"Our responders are focused on the search for survivors," said Senior Chief
Seth Haynes, Key West command center supervisor. "We will continue to search through the night for those reported missing, and if any mariners see or hear anything, to render assistance if possible and contact the Coast Guard."
