The Briefing
- Sixteen people were pulled alive from the Pacific Ocean approximately 140 miles west of Ensenada, Mexico, after their vessel sank in the predawn hours of Friday; rescuers found no hull at the scene — only scattered debris.
- Among those rescued, one individual with a suspected shark bite wound is under treatment, two patients remain hospitalized in critical condition, and three others were evaluated at a separate San Diego facility and discharged.
- Eleven people remain unaccounted for; a joint search spanning approximately 950 square nautical miles is active, involving U.S. Coast Guard helicopters, a cutter, a U.S. Navy warship, and vessels from Mexico's own Navy.
