At least eight people were killed when two suspected smuggling boats approached a San Diego beach and one capsized. Crews are searching Sunday for an estimated seven additional victims, authorities said.
A Coast Guard cutter combed the area early Sunday, and officials hoped to get helicopters in the air when weather improves, Brahm said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Eddie Berrios confirmed eight people died and teams were searching for at least seven more. He didn’t know what kind of boats they were, but said pangas - small open boats with outboard engines used in smuggling operations - often come ashore there.
