US Coast Guard reports 39 missing from capsized boat off Florida

Rescue crews searched waters off Florida's Atlantic shore on Tuesday for 39 people reported missing by a survivor found clinging to a boat that capsized in what the US Coast Guard called a suspected human smuggling attempt gone awry. The survivor told authorities after his rescue that he had left the Bahamas' Bimini islands, about 50 miles east of Miami, in a boat with 39 others on Saturday night.
