The Miami Herald reports:

Thirty-two people were rescued from a sinking yacht off Miami Beach this weekend, officials say. The rescue happened around 5 p.m. Saturday near Flagler Monument Island, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The small man-made island houses a 110 foot-tall obelisk monument that was built decades ago to honor Henry Flagler, a key developer of Florida’s east coast. Monument island is near the luxury Hibiscus, Star and Palm islands, where many famous celebrities live.

Pictures shared by the Coast Guard online show more than a dozen people, some wearing life jackets, on board the 63-foot vessel. Other photos show the yacht submerged, with the ship’s nose jutting out of the water.

The New York Post reports:

Around 30, budding, bikini-clad influencers took a luxurious Lamborghini Tecnomar out for a spin in the waters off Miami Beach on Saturday – only to have their hopes for a picture-perfect jaunt sink when the posh yacht started taking on water. The Coast Guard and a good Samaritan boat swooped in to get everyone off safely – with many of the influencers able to save their most prized possessions, including a Macbook and a $350 bottle of Clase Azul Gold tequila.

The pricey booze was cradled by former Miss America competitor Regan Hartley on a rescue boat while someone else shouted, “The baby is safe,” according to one video. Social-media footage showed the rescued young women taking photos or videos of their sinking yacht from afar. “No f–ks given,” an Instagram user noted of the blasé attitude of the group. “Everyone on the sinking yacht taking selfies.”

Such a tragedy.
