@bannonswarroom.us: A nighttime boat ride near the Statue of Liberty ended in tragedy after an overcrowded vessel capsized, leaving a mother and her 5-month-old daughter D*ad. Authorities say 46-year-old Manuel Hernandez was operating the boat when it overturned near Liberty Island shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday. There were reportedly 14 people on board. Sources told TMZ the vessel may have been carrying more passengers than was considered safe for the area and conditions. Two passengers — 27-year-old Sara Sanchez and her infant daughter, Antonella Garcia — D*ed following the incident. The baby’s father was also reportedly on board. Twelve people were rescued. Hernandez has now been arrested and charged with 13 counts of reckless endangerment, according to the NYPD. Authorities say additional charges could still be filed as investigators continue examining what caused the boat to capsize. One major question is whether overcrowding played a role. Sources said the boat should have carried no more than roughly 10 to 12 passengers given the location and potential hazards in New York Harbor. Investigators have not publicly detailed Hernandez’s relationship to the mother and child. For one family, what may have started as an evening on the water ended with an unimaginable loss. Now authorities are trying to determine whether that outcome could have been prevented. Do you think boat operators should face tougher penalties when passenger limits are allegedly ignored? #NewYorkCity #StatueOfLiberty #BoatSafety #CrimeNews #nypd
