What are the details? The New York Times reported that a Coast Guard cutter came upon a group of people floating in the water roughly 18 miles from the coast in the early afternoon, with no boat in sight. Eight survivors were rescued. "There was no vessel. The people were found in the water," Petty Officer Hernandez told the newspaper. "That's why we don't have any of the nationalities or anything like that."
