Speedboat Tragedy in New York Harbor | Newark News

A speedboat carrying 14 people—including a mother and her 5-month-old—capsized in New York Harbor, killing both. The operator, Manuel Hernandez, faces federal charges for reckless negligence, overcrowding, and failing to provide life vests for infants. He allegedly lacked proper licensing and was unaware it was required. The grieving father, Andres Garcia, is rallying support through a GoFundMe that’s already raised $25K. Neighbors remember Sara Sanchez as kind and devoted. Authorities say the tragedy was preventable, and while rescuers saved the other 12 passengers, Hernandez remains behind bars on $50K bail.
