The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Manuel Hernandez, 46, of Manhattan, was arrested early Sunday and charged with 13 counts of reckless endangerment after the 22-foot Bayliner he was operating capsized in New York Harbor near Liberty Island. The boat overturned around 10:25 p.m. Saturday while carrying 14 people, sending everyone aboard into the water and prompting a multiagency rescue. Police divers recovered Sara Sanchez, 27, of College Point, Queens, and her 5-month-old daughter, Antonella Garcia; both were pronounced dead at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating whether the vessel was operating as an illegal charter.
