This morning, a desperate search in the San Francisco Bay after a boat sank near Alcatraz.
At least one person is dead
and three people are still missing.
>> Looks like multiple people are in the water, typically unconscious.
People are trapped in the boat.
>> The cabin cruiser was between the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
>> The location is Alcatraz Island.
This is one Alcatraz Alcatraz Island.
>> Officials say 20 people were on board, most believed to be members of the same family.
>> Our understanding was there was some kind of memorial service that they were engaging in and that's why they were using this particular vessel.
They were hit by a wave or took on water and the boat capsized.
>> Coast Guard racing to the scene, but by the time they arrived, the bottom two levels of that three-level cruiser were underwater.
It's unclear if anyone was wearing a life vest.
>> Some people were in the water, some people are on the boat, some people are just falling to into the water.
Initial injuries that we are hearing about are mostly impact injuries from falling as they fell into the water.
>> One passenger rushed to shore was later pronounced dead.
13 passengers were safely rescued.
Three people were taken to the hospital with injuries.
Captain Kirk Miller was on the water at the time and was one of the first to arrive on the scene.
>> It's likely that a massive amount of water came in quickly.
They may not have had what's called a high water alarm
that will alert when a bunch of water comes in.
That water got into the vessel without them knowing.
>> Nearly a dozen boats were deployed there.
Rescue swimmers and scuba divers are now searching for those three people still missing with helicopters looking from above.
>> So right now we are in full rescue mode.
>> And officials have said that the waters have been very choppy and rough.
That has complicated their search efforts.
They've also been using some computer modeling overnight to make their best estimate as to where those people still missing may have drifted in the water.

>> Okay, Trevor. Thanks.
