American Killed When Bahamas Tourist Boat Sinks in Rough Water

It was supposed to be a simple tourist ferry ride to Blue Lagoon Island in the Bahamas. But the excursion turned tragic as a double-decker tourist boat took on water in rough seas. The craft tilted sideways and began to sink, as terrified passengers donned orange life jackets and jumped overboard. Nearby boats rescued those passengers. One American died in the ordeal, and two other people were taken to a hospital.
