DEVELOPING: Thick, dark smoke above the Hudson River came from a boat fire where several people had to be rescued Saturday afternoon.
A beautiful Saturday afternoon on the water turned fiery for a group of boaters whose vessel caught fire in the Hudson River.
Thick, dark smoke was seen billowing from the boat as emergency crews moved in and started spraying down the previously out of control burn. All passengers aboard the 48-foot yacht were rescued by a good Samaritan, who aided the group to an NYPD rescue boat once it arrived. No injuries were immediately reported.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the yacht, which caught fire around 3:30 p.m., had submerged after a losing battle with the fire.
