How sad another Boat


The U.S. Coast Guard says a vessel carrying as many 200 Haitian migrants has capsized near the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Coast Guard spokeswoman Sabrina Elgammal, a petty officer third class, says the guard has been working with police to rescue 70 people who were stranded on a reef. She said four bodies have been recovered and authorities' main goal is "to get everybody out of the water."

She said the vessel capsized around 2 p.m. Monday afternoon.
