US Coast Guard Rescues Seven People Clinging to Capsized Boat

The US Coast Guard rescued seven people clinging to the side of a capsized boat in rough waters off the coast of Florida on September 20.

This dramatic footage shows members from the St Petersburg station pulling one person from the water as others can be seen holding on to the overturned 20-foot vessel.

“Don’t let go of that bag!” a member of the crew can be heard yelling to the people in the water.

The seven people were transferred to Port Manatee, the coast guard said, where they were reported to be in good condition. Credit: @USCGSoutheast via Storyful
