One individual is confirmed dead after a tragic capsizing of some 72-foot Artemis Racing boat after a training run for your America's Cup in San francisco.
NBC Bay Area media reporter Stephanie Chuang was one of several earliest to break a story, as two were initially confirmed injured through the incident:
Support boats rushed in the scene to assist, getting the two men to paramedics, as noted with the America's Cup's Twitter rss feed:
There is currently no word on the victim's name or the name of the other injured crew member. According to the Mercury News' Julia Prodis Sulek, all 11 members in the crew were found, though their statuses haven't been publicly released.
The unnamed crew new member was submerged for "quite some time" with the water before rescue working people could arrive. In some sort of video on CBS' area news website, you are able to see the unfortunate scene unfold. Chuang later reported that paramedics had stopped performing CPR on a single victim, who was taken to the St. Francis Yacht Club for assistance.
One in the first responders on the scene was through the Oracle Racing Team, which has been also training for that America's Cup.
The Artemis Speeding team, based in Sweden, arrived earlier this month due to the first training run with the impending America's Cup races. They are one from four teams entering the storied event this current year, which will begin on July 4. This particular vessel was part of the AC72 staff, which relates to a yacht's waterline length.
