24 Individuals Rescued from Drifting Boat off Baja California Coast

In a daring rescue operation, 24 Mexican individuals were saved from a drifting boat off the coast of Playas de Tijuana, Baja California. The group, consisting of men, women, and children, had been adrift for several hours before being spotted by a local fisherman who alerted the authorities.

The rescue mission involved the collaboration of various organizations, including the Mexican Navy, the Red Cross, and the Coast Guard. The teams worked tirelessly to locate the vessel and bring the passengers to safety.

The individuals rescued were reportedly in good health, although they were understandably shaken by the ordeal. They were provided with medical attention and food before being transported to a nearby port for further processing.

The boat, it seems, was trying to cross to the USA illegally when it lost power.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of maritime travel, particularly in open waters. It also highlights the importance of having proper safety equipment and emergency protocols in place for all boats and vessels.
