Alameda – A sinking boat near the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal cast four men into the San Francisco Bay on Sunday afternoon, leaving three treading water and yelling for help and a fourth pulled to the rocky shore by passersby who tried their best to save him.
The tragedy began at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday, when rescue crews responded to reports of “multiple people in the water calling for help,” Tidwell said. When police arrived at the shoreline, passersby from the recreation trail along Harbor Bay Parkway had already plunged into the water to pull out the victim before the police arrived to perform CPR, Tidwell said.
Tidwell didn’t know whether it was a fishing or recreational boat, why it sunk or the ages or identities of the victims.
