A shallow estuary shaping the Bay Area
Rescue teams have recovered most of the 20 people aboard a Bay Area boat. Sixteen were saved, three remain unaccounted for, and one passenger died after the Volare sank following a wave strike near San Francisco. Investigators are examining why the vessel lost stability as rescuers search for the final missing passenger.
