I grew up in Deep East Texas. Not East Texas DEEP East Texas, the heart of the Piney Woods, nestled there between the Big Thickette, national forests, the swamps of Louisiana and the two largest lakes in Texas. And I grew up out in the country with woods and creeks and rivers and swampy areas. I never doubted the stories my great-grandad and my grandad and my dad told me about the critters that lived out in those woods, either.
Passengers aboard a boat that sank near San Diego paid thousands to smugglers, authorities say
Passengers aboard a vessel that sank near San Diego on Sunday told investigators they each paid thousands of dollars to be smuggled into the US, according to a federal complaint filed Wednesday against the suspected captain of the boat.
The boat hit a reef and broke apart near the Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma around 10 a.m. PT, according to the complaint. Thirty-three people were pulled out of the water with three of the individuals found deceased.
One passenger remains in critical condition at a local hospital and two others are still receiving medical attention for their injuries as of Wednesday.
Early Sunday morning, a commercial boat in the San Diego Bay called to report a distressed vessel near Point Loma. The vessel, maneuvering in 7-foot swells, fog and light rain, broke apart after hitting rocks. San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Rick Romero said that people were flailing about, drowning and getting sucked under by the currents.
Four people died, and 28 survived, five of whom were transported to a local hospital, one in critical condition. The smuggling boat was dangerously overcrowded and had inadequate safety equipment on board.
When the U.S. Border Patrol arrived at the scene, it advised in a statement made later that all but two of the passengers were Mexican foreign nationals with âno legal status to enter the U.S.â The two remaining non-Mexicans were a Guatemalan national and a U.S. citizen identified as the boatâs captain who was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations.
