Sad news today one guy is dead and the other one was saved. They were 82 and 84 prob life long buddies out for a little fishing trip. Anchor got caught in the prop. RIP

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities said one person is dead and another is hospitalized after a boat capsized off Staten Island.
It happened around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Raritan Bay near Great Kills Harbor. Coast Guard spokesman Charles Rowe said rescuers found the 19-foot power boat partially submerged.
Video from the scene showed only the hull of the small vessel visible above the water. Ambulances could be seen on the dock nearby.
Two men, ages 84 and 82, were pulled from the water, but the 84-year-old man died, police said. The 82-year-old man was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Authorities told the Staten Island Advance that preliminary information indicated their anchor line wrapped around the motor, causing the boat to become unstable

82 and 84 they were still fishing buddies. This is sad but also a uplifting that 2 old guys could make it that many years and still be able to fish together. I hope if I have to go it is on the water with a good friend. T&P sent.

I also read about it. Seems another boat came up to them, saw they were in distress, and motored away without helping. If it's true shame on them. thoughts and prayers to all.

Very sad news. This reminded me of Finchaser and some of his fishing buddies....
They have been fishing together for over 50 years, some of them....argue like cats and dogs.....but at the end of the day, they are fishing together, again....

My sincere thoughts and condolences to all the families involved......I hope they can resolve the issue of identifying that boat that stopped and allegedly did not offer assistance....
