Six people rescued after boat capsizes off Louisiana coast, dozen still missing

Six people have been rescued after a large commercial boat capsized off the coast of Louisiana – and rescuers are still searching for a dozen others, officials said Wednesday.

The US Coast Guard said it received an emergency beacon notification at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday of a 129-foot commercial lift vessel that capsized in an area 8 miles south of Port Fourchon in the Gulf of Mexico. A crew on the 154-foot Coast Guard Cutter Glenn Harris arrived within 30 minutes and rescued one person from the capsized vessel.
