Sonali TiwaryThe US Coast Guard and Mexican Navy are continuing a search for 11 people still missing after a boat carrying 27 people capsized approximately 140 miles west of Ensenada, Baja California, in the early hours of October 16. A Coast Guard helicopter reached the scene about two hours after the 1 a.m. mayday call. Crews rescued 16 survivors in a nighttime hoist operation that took approximately 90 minutes to complete.
Three of the 16 rescued survivors had injuries consistent with shark bites, according to Coast Guard sources cited by AP News. All 16 survivors were transported to San Diego. Authorities have not confirmed the nationality or identity of the 11 missing persons. The number of people believed missing is based on survivor accounts and may change as the search continues.
If you have a family member who may have been on this boat, the official sources for confirmed information are USCG Sector San Diego and Mexico’s Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR). The search is a joint operation involving the US Coast Guard, the US Navy, and Mexican maritime authorities. Authorities have not confirmed the vessel’s origin, destination, or purpose. The Coast Guard noted the area is frequented by smuggling activity, but has not made any public determination about this specific boat.
The rescue site — 140 miles west of Ensenada — is well beyond the coastal shelf in open Pacific waters. That distance required a multi-hour Coast Guard response after the 1 a.m. distress call, leaving survivors in the water through the night before crews could reach them.
The Coast Guard has not released the type or condition of the vessel; only debris was found at the scene. As of the latest official statements, 16 people are confirmed rescued and 11 are believed missing, with the search active. US Coast Guard Pacific search and rescue operations
